I was one of those people who followed my “dream” and got an education, took out student loans to pay for it, and when my “dream” didn’t pay the bills I got stuck at a desk job paying off those loans I took to get to my dream. I loved being a professional musician, and I’ll be damned if anyone takes first chair in the orchestra away from me. But truthfully I have to move on because it didn’t pay the bills, so I’m left asking myself what have I to offer the world. Or what do I have to offer that I can charge for. :) I look forward to reading on!

And the first easy step towards that ability is simply to teach them to be genuinely interested themselves.

It is one thing to have a shoulder to stand on, it is entirely another to be the shoulder to stand on. Teach them the value of both!

If parents worldwide would only fulfill these two simple teachings then the world would be a better place and letting each other go when the time may come, will no longer seem as daunting.

Then I got a job in Baytown making keys for Cole National Key Company in a tiny trailer behind the Sears Store when it was on Texas Avenue. I was the manager working 9a-6p Monday through Saturday. I earned $2 per hour, which was minimum wage in 1974. I shared a large one bedroom apartment with a friend for $125 per month. Our apartment was next door to a grocery store. Then I made some dumb decisions and everything changed. I ended up having to move into a house with a girl who had druggie friends who would be asleep in the house when I got home from a nightshift at a StopNGo. After 2 months, I moved home. I learned a lot in those 6 months. So many bad things could have happened, but I think God was watching out for me. The world is so much different now for the teenagers.

I would want to teach my daughter about love and dating. Not what to avoid, but what to look for, which is what I think a lot of father’s forget to do. I love your blog. I’m eating it up right now. BTW get out of my head, will ya? : )
