Surprises are a beautiful thing.
Decided to head north for one day to see my pops for his birthday. It was a good drive, Derek was amazing helping with Genevieve and while she only broke down once seems lunchables was the solution. Soon after arriving pops looked at me and said - thank you. I did not do it for that - it was not about hearing the words - it was the look in his eyes. It was .... I was just so happy to see him happy. To see him happy knowing for his birthday we would be together.
Surprises are a beautiful thing.
As I dig through this considering ... what is the revelation I realize something.
Along the journeys of life we live ...
...it is when we get lost in it all that the gift of being here now comes into focus.
There is another feeling that is close to that which is when someone does something for another that is a surprise with no strings attached.
Its as if along the path of their lives something happens - a little break from it all that generates a reflection - a smile.
Understand this -
God has given me a gift of a good man who has lived within my life as a great father.
As we consider our opportunities to step into anothers world and do something nice make sure you are doing this for the right person.
This is tricky because there are times we can do things for others no strings attached and it may be someone we do not know. I get that. For this particular reflection it was about my pops - a man I think the world of.
REVELATION:
2 things!
1 - live life getting lost within the good and bad - choose the frames that matter and be all in so that the start nor finish line can not hold a candle to the light found within the journey.
2 - Give in life so that as others are within their journeys - what we do is a blessing to them. What we do can at times take them from their beginning and ends... from their missions and desires for destinations pulling them into a moment if not second where they say thank you and ... its so damn good a look is more than enough to know - we made the right decision to at that point in time step into their world. CONSIDER WHO, WHAT AND WHEN?
Who do you love?
What can you do ( no strings attached ) for them?
When will you do it?
