I had surgery as a child when I went to the dentist, I could not lift my tongue all the way up and the dentist told my mother that I was tongue tied. He asked her if he could perform the surgery and she told him to go head and snip it. The thin flesh between the tongue and the bottom of the mouth was too long and needed cut a bit for my tongue to be more flexible is what I was told. Being 12 I had no idea what they were talking about, but it happened and 32 years later I still remember the smell of the gas they used. I k ow that’s not no oh wow type of surgery, but being 12 it was something.

When I wake up I first of all thank GOD, I sit for a few minutes to appreciate my life, my family and all the small things I am grateful for. Then I get moving, things like the bathroom, coffee, check out the weather for the day because of my job, I’m outside so knowing what the weather is for the day is a must. I like to keep it basic, nothing fancy a meditation session, listen to some Neville Goddard and reset my mind for the day to clear out all the rubbish and start the day with a blank canvas.

One word for that for me would be GRATITUDE. I practice it everyday throughout my and at then end of everyday. It is a sense of relief for me and I found joy in doing so. It’s a great way to notice almost everything in my day to day and acknowledge the fact that I don’t have to compare and lack. The more I accept and enjoy, the more shows up. It is a great way living and enjoying life.

Roasted Brussels sprouts is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten, I use to frown upon them when I was a youth. my father in law graced my table with some a few years ago and I didn’t eat them at that moment. Later that day I tried them and my taste buds exploded. I made some on my own and they were wonderful, my wife and I made them a few more times and they were just as enjoyable as when I made the second time. They are juicy, good for you and nutritious. Brussels sprouts are a definite game changer and it took me 44 years to realize that.

My absolute go to would be a pair of fabletics nave blue shorts and a breathable light gray shirt with a pair of navy and white running shoes that’s comfortable and classy all at the same time. The outfit would represent fun and business all at once. That’s typically what I wear when I’m not working, just different colors everyday, but overall that is my go to outfit. I can wear it to the super markets, it looks nice and clean at parent teacher conferences, and it is a solid look on the golf course as well, I would have to pair it with a nice watch. I am a big fan of watches, and hats, so that would be my everyday.

How do you waste the most time every day?

Most of the time I try and not do as such, but I still find ways to just that. I mindlessly waste a lot of time on social media and I work on doing other things to occupy my time. I surf the web on other interesting things such as stocks, crypto, funny cat videos which is an adventure in itself. I my go in the garage with my wife and try and keep up with her workout routine. She blows me out the water, but I still go out there and give it a go. I have adopted meditating a couple times a week, but I do want to make it a everyday thing to add to my mornings, a bit of sharpening of the mind is always a plus in my eyes. I work on filling my whole day with something productive so I don’t waste time on nothingness throughout my day.

I would have to go with William Shakespeare due to his writing abilities and the excellent ways he put his words together. I myself love to write and sometimes even doodle a little bit on a Saturday night, I think it’s good for the soul to get creative and let your mind wonder. I would like to write a book someday and watch my work grow and for people to enjoy whatever it may be I can put together in book form.
