It's funny, I love to travel. Lately I've been doing it a lot and just recently, it's become less “fun”, less “easy”.Thanks
My mother-in-law and I were in a store shopping once when I saw a little kid throwing a tantrum. The child's mother was frazzled, trying to figure out how to make the child behave without creating a bigger scene. I rolled my eyes at my mother-in-law and said one of those ridiculous "when I have children…" phrases. My mother-in-law just laughed at me and said "Never say never." I have two children now (8,10). Needless to say, I thought of my mother-in-law's words often when they were younger. Everything looks a lot easier when you're judging instead of performing.
Thanks, Ron, for the great post. It really made me think!
Thanks. Your mother-in-law was passing along wisdom.

Oh. That's a good one

Absolutely. Surrendering looks easy until you try.
Soldiering looked easy…until I became one.
And I thank you for doing it anyway.
Coaching looked easy . . . until I became one
I suspect that's right. I've seen some games I wouldn't know what to do
Teaching looked easy … until I became one.
I'm certain that's true but I'm thankful for the great ones I had in my life.
It isn't easy, but it is so worth it…The pay is far bigger than the paycheck. 🙂
yeap . . . but I love doing it
