From Dad

Several years ago, when I was 21, Hilary, Bernice and I (BFFs) decided to drive to Alaska. My dad, although always (reluctantly) supportive of my flightly adventures, naturally worried a little too. A man of very few words, he gave me a father's blessing and said nothing else on the matter. A few days before the three of us piled into Hil's brand new Ford truck, I was sitting with both of my parents, each with concerned eyes, when my dad said, "Just enjoy."

Today on Facebook my friend Tabitha posted the question: What is the best piece of advice you have ever recieved?

I replied: "Just enjoy"

I think it has taken years for the two words to truly resonate. Since that beautiful northern adventure there have been many situations, moments, conversations, and people that have been taken for granted and under appreciated by me. I didn't enjoy them like they deserved. Like I deserved. But my dad's advice has never lost my memory.

Isn't it lovely, the power within simplicity?

Isn't it lovely to

Simply

Enjoy?
