Summer of 1963

Last night I mowed the small strip of lawn in front of our town house and when I finished I stood for a few minutes and looked at a job well done.  That feeling took me back to the summer when I was 15 and mowing lawns.  After a long day of mowing I was in my last yard, it was the biggest, and really dusty.  I finished, turned off the mower, and my dad walked up from the end of the drive way and said, “You’ve worked hard today Billy, job well done”.  I’m sure he had said that to me many times before, but that day it became a feeling I began to own.   Being the best we can be each day is a choice we make.  Own that choice today!
