As I was driving away from the park today with the boys, I saw something I've never seen. And I was impressed, even a little inspired. An older man, probably mid 60's judging from the crown of white hair, was trying to learn to skateboard. In a business suit. He was clearly learning, because now that I frequent BMX and skate parks, I could see he certainly didn't have the skills. (Never been on a skateboard, but I'm a total expert.)
Was it an attempt to relate to teenage son or daughter? Maybe a crazy corporate training exercise or something? In any case, kudos to that guy. It was a good reminder to get over myself (yourself) and move forward. What ever dreams or hobbies you loved when you were a kid and let go. Or maybe dreams you had as a kid (or adult for that matter), but never followed or pursued.
Go get that skateboard and hop on... metaphorically, of course. (As I'm not actually a fan of skateboarding.)
Maybe get that drum set.
What a good reminder to us all!
