Another day in our life..

This is another day in our life...

AND JUST A SUGGESTION TO ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU HAVE IT!!!!

Two days ago I received an email that an old friend was not doing very well, health wise. I called, and Ruth, and I went to his house today to see him. Unfortunately he had passed a few minutes before our arrival.....

After we left I realized many of us have multiple chapters in our lives: high school, college, early jobs, competitions, later jobs, and so on and so on.

I have been very lucky because along the way I met Dennis Dawkins. He was a fierce competitor on the water speed skiing circuit, back when I competed in ski racing.

In my life's book Dennis and the team he raced for was important in our family life because almost 40 years ago I joined the KaRon ski racing team. KaRon stood for Karen and Ron Wilson, and Dennis was a long time member of that team. I met Ruth this wonderful day at Lake Elsinore at a ski race sponsored by her college professor Tom "Mac" McIntyre. Ruth and I went on to a wonderful romance and Dennis continued water ski racing for many years. Unfortunately Dennis and I lost touch after we married and started our family.

Now, in a few days, we will celebrate Dennis's life.

But I think this is about enjoying your family, your friends and your acquaintance's TODAY not tomorrow. Say "I love you" now, not when you get around to it.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
