Wise Words « Covet Living

Pretty sure I acted almost exactly like that this weekend during a rip-roaring weekend in Minneapolis with some good friends. Also pretty sure I saw group of upstanding, 30-something professional family men on a bus get up and dance to/act out this entire song… with the “call me!” hand-phone & everything (*COUGH* Crowley). All of which remind me how true this really is…

And if we’re going by those standards – coupled with the fact that I can’t keep coffee, toothpaste or BBQ sauce in my mouth, then that makes me about 8 years old.

…and renders Karrie somewhere around 6. She sure does put on a great front though.

PS: A big fat kudos to my girl Jenny Sain for finding this gem on YouTube. So actually, you can thank her.

Have a great week!!

“I have less time, less tolerance for bullshit, more interest in good taste, more confidence in my own judgement. The culture with which I surround myself is a reflection of my personality and the circumstances of my life, which is part how it should be.” – Nick Hornsby (Songbook)

Ahhhhhh, God bless getting older. Over the past few months I’ve really been noticing that with it comes a very slow, yet very purposeful refinement of all things: Friendships – those that are meaningful, and those meant to fall by the wayside; Relationships – an unfolding clarity of what I want, what I need, and what I’ll never allow again; and Family – an appreciation for the limited time I have with the people I most love.

It started off around 29 for me, when I started trusting myself more, knowing a bit more who I was, appreciating the lessons being given. At 32, I’m just starting to sail… and I love it.

Anywho, off to work.
