Priorities
| Posted at 10:39 AM on May 24, 2009 |
Seems like every time I hop on the bike to go for a ride I start thinking "will this be my last ride?". I ride with a generous amount of paranoia as it's kept me upright and safe for a long time. But I also think about the other facets of my life that are important to me. My family is a top priority. Parents, siblings, Sue and the kids, they're all sharing the top spot in my life. I realize that some day I'll be meeting up with Tom and won't have the physical interaction I enjoy now. So it's become important to connect as much as possible with those around me, in a positive way, and show them that they are very important to me. Be it family, friends or even a stranger, showing them that someone gives a shit about them enriches both our lives.
My grandson is truly a reason to stick around. Dakota comes up with some of the goofiest shit and never ceases to amaze us at his potential. If I ever fall into a situation where I need a reason to fight, he's it. Never thought of myself as Grandpa or "Bompa" as he calls me but it's a title I wear with honor. I'll probably have it etched on my headstone.
At this point in my life priorities I never gave a second thought to before are now my reason for waking up every day. "Too soon old, too late smart" as the saying goes. Maybe I'll have enough time to enjoy them more.
