Lessons From Pop’s

One of the many lessons I learned from my father was to “have money when you travel.” He didn’t like to not have cash at any time but especially when “on the road.” I’m scheduled for a video and photo shoot in Dumaguete tomorrow and Wednesday and his words have been on my mind for the last couple of days.

It’s interesting how certain lessons are more prominent. I typically think of Pop’s daily yet those particular words have been “top of mind” for a couple of days.

Today, Monday, January, 6, 2020, I am grateful that:

Pop’s was an integral part of my life. I’ve missed him more in his death than while living. We didn’t have a particularly intimate relationship. Filled with ups and downs yet many men have been part of my life but none more influential than my father.

Trilogies are coming into light for books. Having so many challenges publishing one title it’s ironic that now my thoughts are focused on three books at a time.

I’m looking forward to travelling to Bacolod later in the week. It’ll be a great small retreat, visiting another city, enjoying another aspect of the culture, and possibly finding another place to live within the country. I’ve grown weary of living in Cebu.

What lessons come to mind after reading my list today?

How can you pass along that lesson to impact others?

Be Great. Be Grateful!
