Wow! What a busy weekend! Justin had a very happy birthday and thanks to all of you for your birthday wishes! I gave him his gifts Friday night...clothes, a new jacket, the Tony Dungy book "Quiet Strengh" and an ITunes Card, so he can put more music on his IPOD....lucky kid....(I don't even have an IPOD)...anyway....he was very happy with his presents....I printed off a copy of his birthday post(Below)...he read it and cried...I cried.....he is such a sweet boy.
His Dad had also given him his present for him, before he went to school that morning..
A Fathead....$100 for a decal to stick on his wall...
I mean, that is what he wanted...Justin is one of the biggest Indianapolis Colts fan's I have ever seen...but, a fathead...of Peyton Manning, for his wall...a little much, I thought..but, his Dad has the money, it was what Justin wanted...I am little too practical...so, I wouldn't get it for him.....His Dad did...he was happy, so "Yay, for Dad".....
I did get him the Dungy book and a Colts birthday cake...check it....
Saturday...I took him for lunch...just the two of us....something he asked for...he doesn't get to spend very much one-on-one time with me...so, it was a treat for both of us. I told him we could go anywhere he wanted to go...he wanted Olive Garden...but, wouldn't you know it...they were packed....2 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon...not one single parking space to be found...he was disappointed, but I told him to make a second choice...we ended up at Red Lobster....yum....yum...I love seafood, but it was hysterical, seeing my boy work so hard to eat crab legs...lunch took forever because of it, but he enjoyed it, so that is what counts....afterwards, we went to the mall, to exchange the jacket I bought him...for a different style and to buy another pair of jeans for him..
We ended our afternoon, at the movies...we seen this....
It was an awesome movie...we laughed, I cried....hey...I wasn't the only one..the theater was packed...they actually sold out for this time slot...when the credits rolled, I looked around...grown men were sniveling...handing thier wifes their hankies....Justin was unsure of it at first....when I mentioned going to see it..but, when it was over..he said he was glad we came....made you think...
So...I have three questions to ask...
What would you do, if you only had a few months left to live...what would be on your list, your Bucket List...of things you would like to do if you knew you were going to kick the bucket?....
Tough question...second question.....just like in the movie, would you want to know, if you could, the day you know you were going to die?
Third question....if you knew you were going to die, could you ask yourself two questions..."Do you have joy in your heart?" and "Have you put joy in someone else's heart?"....
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on those questions...tomorrow, I will post my bucket list...and my answers to those questions...maybe post a few of your answers for comparison.
And...if you haven't seen this movie...I highly recommend it....I give it five stars....it is a keeper. If you liked the Notebook....you will love this movie as well...and if you do go see it, put a kleenex in your purse or pocket...
Have a Great Monday Everyone!
