You are stronger than a mudslide

 

Mudslides are frightening,

They cause lots of damage and are dangerous to you.

Bits of roads gone,

Trees and rocks washed away, too.

Don’t let the wind blow you away,

Stay rooted to the ground,

You know that all are there to help you,

Make sure to help them, too.

Give kindness to them and they will help you through.

Kindness is a gift,

A gift to be given more than once,

Give it to everyone and they will give it to you.

Kindness is a gift that clears up cloudy days,

So remember to give kindness every day,

And love will follow through.

Breaking a leg

December 11, 2024
Sports were my greatest concern growing up, to the detriment of almost every other activity. I never considered choir or band or scouting or anything else. I was all-in with my sporting interests, which varied in degree between basketball, football, baseball, and track.  My personality was completely defined and characterized by my involvement in athletics.…
