Keep Moving

"The greatest thing in this life is not so much where you stand, but in what direction you are moving." Oliver Wendall Holmes, Jr.

Love it.

See, that's always been a chore for me mentally. And by chore, I mean something that I've really got to work at. Not to get complaisant with what's goin' on right now. Not to get too -- dare I say -- content. When you get content, everything is good.

But good is the enemy of great (just heard that on TV).

So I'm doing my best not to be satisfied with where I stand. I'm doing my best to keep throwing lines out there and seeing what happens. Whether it's heading to Nashville for a music conference, working with local musicians, re-recording and re-releasing "Home of the Brave" this year, or making an exerted effort to make sure the world knows about my talented wife.

We've become so busy with activities to help us stay afloat, that I'm afraid we'll miss the boat. I firmly believe there are a couple of tickets with our names on them too. Ok... may not be VIP, but I know there's a path. And the only way I'm going to know?

Not to get content.

To not worry so much about where I stand,

but to keep moving forward.

"Luck" is the point in time where preparation and opportunity meet. So, I guess I should go get ready now... what about you?

Hope you find the music in your busy-ness.
