It’s been one of those months where the weight of the world seems to be on my shoulders. Do you know what I mean? I am sure that many of you feel that way at some point in time or another. I can’t seem to shake this one though…seems to be lasting longer than the norm. I don’t know…not sure what the deal is.

So, woke up this morning and in the mad rush to get my ten year old to school on time. Shouting out orders…making breakfast…picture day…brush your teeth…let’s go…we’re running late. Still feeling very heavy and a bit depressed if I may boldly say. So, we are rushing off and my son cranks up Sting’s “Message in a bottle” that he downloaded on the IPOD. He knows every word of the song and starts belting it out. Huge smile on his face…singing away…and lovin life.

It only took that moment to look over at him and the worries of the world seemed to lift off of my shoulders for that short drive to his school. Oh, how I love him! Thank you son for being you and having the courage and the freedom to live life this morning. You made my day!

Dad!
