Steven’s View Point

View my page on Just Finish!

I receive a daily newsletter called “Daily Motivation” and find it very inspirational. Today they featured a quote by Sam Parker “You have energy. Where should it be invested?” and a video “212 the extra degree”.

I spent my lunch hour thinking about that quote. Am I spending my “energy” wisely? Am I “investing” in the correct things? I did not come to any earth shattering conclusion, but It did remind me that “It is MY life and I am responsible for the results!”

Watch the movie and see what conclusion you come to.

The family and I joined the local YMCA last Sunday. The coolest thing happened while I was swimming laps. My daughter came over and said she wanted to do the swim test. I (off the cuff) told her to go ask the life guard what she had to do to pass the swim test. I was thinking she wouldn’t do it. Well, she showed me! She walked over to the life guard and next thing you know she and two other kids are climbing into the pool. My daughter swam the whole length of the pool and proceeded to tread water. I was completely amazed by her drive and determination. She was the only one to complete the swim test.

I am so proud of her!

I picked the kids up from school today. The first thing out of my daughters mouth was “Dad do you think we will have a snow day tomorrow?” All evening she talked about doing the snow dance. What is the snow dance you ask? Well the snow dance is a combination of events that a little girl’s imagination believes will cause a snow day. It all starts by taking a very long steamy shower, its important to use all the hot water. Then you flush an ice cube down the toilet, put a spoon under your pillow and eat an ice cube right before going to sleep. You have to love the imaginations of our children……..
