It was cold here in Philadelphia, especially tonight as I walked my black lab around the development. Scarves and long buttoned overcoats served a purpose for a change. Looking in the sky, I could see the stars try so hard to shine through clouded skies, but only a select few succeeded in their efforts.
Walking back, I took great pride in seeing my home. The warm glow of it in the night with holiday decorations make it feel extra special through these eyes. I, knowing that my three children are safe and warm inside, make me a proud father.
I decided to take a little extra time outside and contemplate my life's direction. Where I have been and where I am going. How all this was making me feel and how those feelings absorbed into my psyche.
I began to think about the emotion of "pride". Pride is an interesting emotion, it feels really good when stroked and really bad when damaged. For me, I've been on a high of late, being rewarded for certain efforts that I have put forth.
Damn, it feels good to receive recognition.
But I know that this will not last forever, for the business I'm in, you are only as good as your last accomplishment. But hey, I'll ride this wave for as long as I can sustain. For I respect myself and in doing so will be amazed by the opportunities that life will present.
Peace, love and "warmth" to all,
David
