Pay attention

When Ron Sutphin looks you in the eye and says, “nice bike”

When the dental hygienist pauses and says, “nice teeth”

When David James Duncan says, “well said”

When your dog turns to you and says, “word”

When something hits you in the gut, with feeling.

Pay attention.

At the end of the week you can look back on what you’ve accomplished. Judging not by your checking account balance, not by the credit limit on your visa card, not by the amount of vacation time you‘ve earned. Nope, no, none of those. But by the number of six pack rings you’ve gathered, the number of black plastic bags you’ve accumulated, the number of local bodegas mom ’n pop’s you’ve cased, priced, evaluated and recommended to friends. Show me something real. Give me something I can touch. Say it to my face. Say what you mean. Get to the point. Tell me the truth.

Word.

my gut-feeling tells me i should've listened to my gut-feeling.

I copy that...I think.? But in any case happy Friday to you Mary from Olympia.

that was the best thing you've ever said.

Word, my gut feeling is Dan had just enough beers. The next thing he did was hang it fron his nose. We laughed too hard to take a picture of Lauren helping him take it off. Word Picture sent alone
