Ahhhh the sun. My favorite part of the solar system. Without it we would not exist. Nothing. No trees, no animals, no flowers, no dogs, no cats, no traffic, no wait maybe we should, nope bad idea, and with that sentence I hope you can now appreciate the sun just a little more everyday. Stop letting the wussies tell you what to do and spend the day in the sun without sunscreen. Trump says Drill baby drill, well I say BURN baby burn!!! Let that skin sizzle to really make you feel alive.
Okay that is stupid. Wear sunscreen and if you listen to me and complain later, I will personally fly to your home, hold you softly while stroking your hair, tell you it will be okay, and then I’ll kill you. And your family. Okay. Back to happy sun thoughts. I do yoga while walking Annie everyday. I throw the frisbee until she needs a break and then I’ll do my stuff. Today while doing my routine in hotel parking lot I let the sun soak into my face for a moment. I had my eyes closed and just concentrated on breathing. In a moment I was transported back to La Jolla living on Wind-n-Sea beach with the waves crashing on the beach. It was actually a black Escalade trying to ram me out of the way. Um, never close your eyes for extended periods of time in hotel parking lots.
It reminded me of the incredible strength of memories. You work all year and then take a week in the mountains, a deep sea fishing trip, or a hiking trip in Utah to appreciate the beauty of that state. If you’ve never been to Utah I suggest you fix that right now. My real point is never underestimate the power of memories. I’m able to overcome the hardest moments in life by remembering the best of times I’ve had with people I adore and love. I’ve lost touch with many friends over the years, I’ve fallen out with some of them, and sadly some are with God way too early, but I’m able to remember them all just like it was yesterday. I let the sun shine on my face (eyes closed, I’m not Trump) with its warmth reigniting the memories I’ve stored in my cold storage thought freezer. I just made that up, but I like it.
Here is my point today which is similar to the points I make every time I write. LIVE YOUR LIFE. Make the memories. Don’t skip out on fun. It matters. MAKE time to be with the people you love right now. They might not be there when you have more money, more time, more vacation time, or whatever other excuse you allow yourself to use. Think about that. I do sometimes. Not to the point where it hurts, but remind yourself that life is short and you have to enjoy every moment starting right freaking now.

I hope that is blunt enough for you. What do you think about when you let the heat from the sun microwave your memory bank?? A trip?? A moment with your girl? Your guy?? Your kids?? I’ll be honest I thought about the beach in La Jolla as I already mentioned and…. I thought about a time when a friend and I stood atop Copper Mountain about to drop into Gaveling Gulch. We both smiled and yelled “We are going to remember this shit for the rest of our Eff’ing lives!!” We were not wrong. I remember the drop, the massive snow cloud I created when I landed, every turn on the way down, and high fiving Rob at the bottom. A Jeep Cherokee slammed on the brakes, went sideways stopping, and with the tires screeching the driver screamed at us “HOW WAS IT??” I smiled and knew I had just experienced something very special.
I love that feeling. I’ve done many crazy awesome things in my life and I have no plans to stop anytime soon. Driving the other day I remembered flying around in a helicopter over Hawaii and smiled because it was flipping cool. I spent the night in Saint Moritz, eating at a fine dining restaurant with the owner of the hotel, and my date was Miss Thailand. I’ve traveled, I’ve laughed, I’ve loved, I’ve made many friends, and I cherish those memories more than any dollar I’ve ever earned. On my deathbed I will not be talking about how much money I have in a bank account, how many stocks I have, or how much property I own. No. I will smile and talk about the great possessions I have. Memories.
Go make some.
