“When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” ~ A Tao saying

i just got this email from a buddy of mine “how was your week? mine was filled with activities to keep my kid busy. i’m looking forward to monday so I can get back to me.” and you know me. well, you don’t but you are starting too. an opening like that could not be ignored. so here is my “oh larry thinks he’s funny response…”

activities you say?
funny, me too.  i have house stuff, sons stuff, updating stuff, discussing with neighbors’ construction woes that minimally effects us stuff, neighborhood council stuff, if i fan that fire stuff, drama stuff, website challenges/strides stuff, extended family member’s unexpected passing stuff, capoeira practice stuff, you-pitch baseball stuff, blog writing – twitter learning – facebook – ignoring – facebook – responding stuff, presentation stuff, sisters’ stuff, nephews’ stuff, my buddies’ stuff, the everyone’s occasional PPM* stuff, laker stuff and lest we not forget the day to day car/health/money stuff.

I’d like to take credit for that rant but that seed was planted a long time ago by a better ranter with purpose, than me George Carlin.

but the cool part about ranting at the end when I slowed it down and took a breath, i managed to find a little bit of me and my sanity intertwined and connecting all that stuff.  So a little advice, the next time you find yourself covered in stuff and you are just about to board the rant train, slow it down take that breath and it will be a much smoother ride.

Be well and b10,
