WHAT DOESN'T KILL US MAKE US STRONGER
The phrase really goes like this, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." and I think in every aspect of life that can ring true. I think most of us learn from our mistakes. Sometimes it might take a little longer with people, but that's fine, right? If we could choose "easy" each time we would. In fact a commercial for office supplies created the "easy" button. (They even made them up and sold them to the public!) Mother Nature chooses easy too. The path of least resistance. Go figure. Get tough. Get to it!

WILL YOU GIVE UP, GIVE IN, OR GIVE IT YOUR ALL
When it comes to family discussions, my family is pretty open. To the point that some may become uncomfortable, but we see the humor. Mix this in with my my final thought of the night "Each day you have to make a decision. Will You give up, give in, or give it your all?"

DON'T CRY BECAUSE IT'S OVER-SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED
This Easter was pretty tough. We had to say goodbye to our English Bulldog "Chunk". She was with us for 11 amazing years. Saying goobye hurts. It stings. A lot. The #FinalThought for tonight was a Dr. Seuss quote I have used before, and today it seemed more appropriate than before. "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." I miss you Chunk. We all do. Give big wet kisses to the family, and be careful because Gretzky has both eyes again and will be looking for you!

EVERY DAY IS A NEW BEGINNING
Every day offers new challenges. Sometimes just getting out of bed and facing a new day is enough. The final thought of the night was: "Eery day is a new beginning, take a deep breath and start again."

WORRYING IS LIKE PRAYING FOR WHAT YOU DON'T WANT
We all worry. How can we not worry ourselves to death? It's not easy, but think about just preparing yourself rather than letting the worry occupy every minute of your day. I know. Easier said than done.

ARE THINGS FALLING APART? WHAT NOW?
As I put the finishing touches on the podcast, I got a phone call from my daughter. It started off with "Dad, I'm OK...". The call we dread as parents. She had been in a car accident. I will tell you more about it tomorrow. She is OK. But this podcast says a lot for what happened to our family today. Enjoy.
