The Third Day of Christmas

On the Third Day of Christmas,

My true friends gave to me,

These 3 things,

2 Fun Trips,

and

An Attitude of Gratitude.

I have to admit that I have not done my homework like I usually do for the 12 Days Tradition.  Most years by the first day I kinda have an idea of what I'm going to write about each day.  When I first started this, I would have a detailed outline in a notebook and sometimes tweak (not twerk) as I went along.  I've done a little less prep each year, but almost always have some notes.

This year I've got nothing.
Zip
Zero
Nada

Each day I wake up and wait for the something to inspire me to write about.  Not exactly what I'm used to, but I have to admit I'm paying attention to things around me a little more.  So when I sat down with Blaker at breakfast and let him put ESPN on, I wasn't exactly looking for the inspiration there.

However, this is the commercial I saw, and I almost missed it.  Almost let it play out without me even looking up from my phone, but I heard '3 things,' and my ears perked up.

It was almost as if God said, pay attention... this is for you.  Of course I started to google Jimmy V and the speech, and yes, I was inspired.

So today, for the Third Day of Christmas, I give you Jimmy V's three things we all should do every day...

1. Laugh
2. Think - spend some time in thought
3. Have your emotions be moved to tears.

If you do those three things every day, that's a full day... that's a good day.

You can also watch his full speech here.  It truly is an inspiration... 

Happy Sunday!
