-Thoughts from the dawg- It is funny how life will just flat out knock you down sometimes. You are walking through life happy and carefree and just glad to be alive. You got this thing licked... not a care in the world. Well as I have said before. Motivation is the greatest tool that any person can use to improve their everyday lives. Motivation comes in many ways and many forms. Sometimes it lifts you up and sometimes it knocks you back down to where you belong. Today I was knocked back down to where I belong. Before I tell you what happened let me say this first. I can think of no greater gift or more beautiful joyful thing in this world than a child. Think about it. What on this earth is better than a child? Well, I was reading the paper tonight and a horrible thing was in it. It was an article that will stick out in my mind for a long time. A person that lives in my home town ( I do not know this person at all) was sitting at home talking on his CB radio without a care in the world. Just having a little chit chat with his friends. Someone on the CB said that their had been an accident down the road and it was a motorcycle accident. The man said that is horrible. What he was about to find out he had not even considered. While talking on the CB they were talking about the accident and the man for some unknown reason asked What color helmet is the person wearing that is in the wreck? The man replied I don't know they have already covered up the boys body. A horrible feeling went through this mans mind and he could not even breath. Terrified to ask but he knew he had to, uhh uhh what color is the motorcycle , I hope it isn't blue? A long silence which seemed like an eternity came over the radio. The voice on the other end simply said sir I think you may want to come down here the motorcycle is blue with a picture of an eagle on the side. He burst out in tears and did not bother driving he ran as fast as he could to the site which was about 2 miles away. There lay his sons lifeless body. I tell you people something and I am a grown man but... I am in tears writing this post. I do not even know this person but to lose a child my God I just don't know what to say. We all worry about our lives and our petty bickering and who is the best stock picker or who cost who money or who picked a stock first. I bet that man who lost his child would give his soul to trade places with anyone of us. No I don't get down and I try to be happy all the time. God bless that little child and God bless his family.
