Free...

Next time you pass through the mountains you will feel their strength...

I am strong...

Next time you hear the wind rustling through the trees, you will listen...

I am speaking...

Next time you look into the sunset, you will see my eyes...

I am watching...

Be not afraid - celebrate - celebrate life, for...

I am free...

Glory Days...

Well football is a team sport and I have many great friends who played together, but hell this isn't about them it's all about me.

One of the best moments for me was the punting game when we played our arch rival Omak.

During the game all was going as planned and during the first punt we lined up in formation and as I scanned the field I noticed that the Omak receivers were very close. Not really thinking much of it, the center snapped the ball to me and I kicked the ball and just rocked it. The receivers had to run back to recover the ball.

As the game went on the score was still tight and we punted frequently. What was really entertaining in my mind was during my punts you could actually hear the crowd stop to watch. Because during this game those punts were spiral and cruising. On another punt the receivers backed up a bit and I still kicked it over their heads.

The last punt I remember we were about the 10 yard line as usual as the huddle broke I scanned the field to see where the kick was going but this time the receivers had to be all the way back to their own 10 yard line - I still laugh at this today.

Although this story was about my punting, the friendships we still have from us all on our football team is as close as it was then.

Peace, love

Can We Talk...

It has been fantastic digging deeper into conversations with many. Reaching to the heart and soul of our existence. In these conversations, there has been many questions but today there are two that have come up.



1. How do we want to be remembered?



2. What is the one idea/concept I would like others to come away from my journey?



These are two profound questions that both could have a thesis written on them however they are both mutually exclusive topics.

How do we want to be remembered? The answer could be so complex and yet so simple. Just think if we all woke up and asked this question! Now, it would not change the world but just think how it would make everyday better.

For me, being remembered as a man who loved his family, was a good friend willing to lend a helping hand or listen. Always ready with a laugh and smile on his face. What you see is what you get. "Okanogan" Not perfect by no means. But loved life and lived it to it's fullest.

This is a wonderful exercise we all should do. It's a bit self serving but hey hopefully we won't call ourselves jerks. Answering this question, allows us to see where we have been, where we are today, and where we want to be tomorrow.

Peace, Love T

PS Question 2 to follow.

A Crispy Day...

Cheeks rosy from a nip in the air...

Popsicle toes...

A perfect paw print in the morning frost...

Sky Sapphire blue clear and cold...

Leaves on the ground, fall is here...

Winter is around the corner waiting it's turn...

Blanket of snow, covers the ground...

A crispy day...
