A FRESH START
It is New Years Day 2013 and it is my first blog of the year. Ok actually it's my first blog ever. I'm not sure what I am supposed to write in a blog but since it is New Years Day I think I am supposed to be writing about something that is fresh, new, hopeful and challenging for the new year to come and I have tried to do that very thing for the last hour. I think I am off to a good start, after all I have given this blog a catchy up beat sure to appeal to the masses name, "A Fresh Start". With a name like that I should be ready to write inspiration for the future. But I have to be honest, the only thing I want to do today is watch football. As I write this I am currently sitting in my Dad's living room in front of his brand new GIANT TV (the one he just bought because he knew I would be here on this day) watching game after game and loving it! I love football, I Kinda always have loved football. I played football in High School and I played Football in College and I am currently starting my 19th year as a High School Football Coach so when I say I love football you get the picture, I really love football. So a day like this with multiple games going on is going to be a great day. However, as I sit here watching the games and trying to write inspirational thoughts it has occurred to me that today is not really about football at all. Today is about memories and today is about being with my Dad. Of all the days I remember from my teenage years, my most fond memories, are of this day, New Years Day and being with my Dad watching football. My Dad is my hero! He was the one I looked up to as a kid, the one I most wanted approval from as a teenage boy, the one who was the best man in my wedding and the one I most admire to this day. My Dad taught me what it meant to be a man. He has always been an example of who a man is and what a man does. My Dad is generous, kind, loving, strong, firm and always fair. I hope that I can be the father to my children that my Dad has been to me.
Oh, I forgot I am supposed to be writing something hopeful for the future. How about this, how about today we all remember those things that we are most fond of. How about today we all decide to look around us and take note of the people in our lives who have shaped us and molded us into the people we are today. How about today of all days we begin to pour into somebody else's life and we begin to shape and mold them. How about we begin to create amazing moments in their memories. How about today we become that moment in somebody's life where watching football on New Years Day becomes more then just watching football on New Years Day. Today, i'm spending time with my Dad! Here is to new beginnings and a fresh start. Happy New Year! Willy
