Powerful, really.

WOW...
A professor gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon.
Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point, the professor told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.
The professor said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."

Suzi Q’s birthday today. Wish her a happy one!

On this day in 1986, my daughter was born. The next morning, the nurses were talking amongst themselves, about to play a trick on me and tell me they’re so sorry but I didn’t have a girl, it was really a boy! (I had 5 beautiful boys).

She’s girly but tough. Very determined. A great wife and mother. A great and beautiful woman in her own right.

Join me in wishing her a very happy birthday!

Somethings are beyond words.

This is an 800 year old oak tree!

Rising from the ashes like the sphinxes. Living their ancestors wildest dreams. So proud.

Last night, while waiting to board our plane, Carter Jean was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.

He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.

This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.

This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.

Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.
