Another Day, another dollar and DAD.

I am so lucky, to be able to work every Saturday. I guess the trade off comes that I get every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday OFF.
We have been so slow today, most of the day has been non-chargeable time.
Just another hour and I am done for the week. At least I got to review my Sunday School lessons and my Priesthood Lesson for tomorrow.
Today my dad would have been 86 years old. He passed away 8 years ago, Jan, 2000. I sure do miss him. Had lots of trying times with him, but the good times were very good. He was a good man and loved his family, especially his grandchildren.
The one thing that I learned from him was to COMMUNICATE. We sometimes say things to others and think they know what we are saying when they may not have the same understanding as we do about a circumstance or a subject. We should always try to say things such that the other person has no knowledge of our thoughts or intent and we are spelling out every step of the way to them.
We should not hold back anything from anyone that we feel impressed to say to them that would be of benefit to them, such as, I Love You. Sometimes we don't say those kinds of things to them and then, all of a sudden, the chance is lost and we may never get to say it to them again.
Like the country song says, "Don't Blink", time goes faster than you think.
I do love my dad and respect him and his life. I think about him often and miss him terribly.
Sure do wish I had just one more day with him.
Well, gotta a hot date with my girlfriend, the mother of my children, my roomate and my eternal companion. We are going out for some Mexican food tonight, Emilianos, in the North Hills. I received a WinShare check from my company this week and we are going to splurge a little tonight.
Stay well and stay warm.
