It’s possible to forget how alive we really are.

We can become dry and tired, just existing,

Instead of really living.

We need to remind ourselves of the juice of

Life, and make that a habit.

Find those places inside that jump for joy,

And do those things.

Pa's Poem 102918

Why won’t this nagging feeling go away?

It feels like something is wrong

Though what; I can’t say.

I go over it and over it in my mind

To see what answer I can find

Everything is good, everything is great

But if that is the truth

Why do I feel this way?

I can’t figure it out

So off to bed I go

Never thinking the morning will bring me low

Morning comes but Fate doesn’t care

A noise I hear and then I realize…

This is what you hear when somebody dies.

Alarm bells scream in my brain

Things will never be the same

No one told me

I just knew.

How will I manage?

Without you?

Now you are gone

But I didn’t tell you bye

I should have known

And maybe I did

The last time I hugged you

The thought crossed my mind

Now all I want is to go back in time

I would give anything for a hug or a smile

Or just to sit and chat a while

Our time was cut short

I always assumed you’d see graduation,

And a wedding in June

I want you to be here for the milestones I’ll meet

I’ll always be looking to see your face

As I walk, diploma in hand across the stage,

Or down the aisle in the church, and in that

Hospital Waiting room

With a Welcome New Baby Balloon.

Though you’re gone, you’ll be there

For we’ve parted in distance,

But never in heart.

The path to success is to take massive,

Determined action.

True masters are those who have chosen

To make a life rather than a living.

- Neale Donald Walsch

No matter what age you are,

Or what your circumstances might be,

You are special, and you still have

Something unique to offer.

Your life, because of who you are,

Has meaning.

I'm more interested in living.

Depending upon-the greatest number of their God-given

Talents and capabilities.

102618 Coach John Calipari quote

On honoring the late C.M. Newton before the game …

“He had always been kind to me personally,

But that’s not why he’s being honored.

He’s being honored because of what he did for this

Athletic department and especially this basketball

Program.

There are two guys that took over in this athletic

Department that had to walk into tough situations

And try to get them right.

One was C.M. Newton.

To walk in when it was like, ‘What are we going to

Do and how am I going to climb out of this hole?’

The second one was Coach Joe B. Hall.

Who the heck would want to follow Coach

(Adolph) Rupp?

Those two guys walked into some situations where

It’s hard to even come away with a W,

And they both did.

But, C.M. and his family and what he’s meant …

He was a player; he obviously coached in the SEC,

Was part of the SEC,

And then came here and left his mark.

So this game, which was planned because of this

So we could do this and talk to Martin,

Who obviously was part of my first staff here.

He and his family are coming up from Samford.

I’m just happy they are going to do some video

Board stuff for them.

He’s just done so much for the game of basketball,

So much for this university,

So much for this athletic department,

So much for the basketball program that I think

It’s only right that we honor him.”

- Coach John Calipari

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart,

Not in the ballroom or church or synagogue.

It's a choice you make …

Not just on your wedding day,

But over and over again …

And that choice is reflected in the way you treat

Your husband or wife.

- Barbara De Angelis

Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao Tzu

No such thing as spare time.

No such thing as free time.

No such thing as down time.

All you got is life time. Go!

Henry Rollins

When you wake up, think about winning the day.

Don't worry about a week or a month from now …

Just think about one day at a time.

If you are worried about the mountain in the distance,

You might trip over the molehill right in front of you.

Win the day!

I said, 'Sure, every time.'"

Like most people who are great at things,

He (Chipper Jones) was just singularly driven.

This is what he was born and raised to do.

He says all the time,

'I would have done this or that.'

But I don't believe there was any alternative

In his mind.

He dabbled in other things.

He was a very good football

Player and a heck of a basketball player.

He was one of those athletes who was good

At whatever He did.

But you could tell from the outset that [baseball]

Was what he was going to do, and nothing was

Getting In his way.

- B.B. Abbott

Chipper Jones’ life-long friend and agent

So that others can have the hope that someday,

Their wounds will become nothing but scars, too.
