Bazaar: "An open-air market, with many vendors, and products of all types." The chaotic here and there and lack of (obvious) order abound. Somehow I'm in this place on a Sunday afternoon.

Football Chatter
I used to watch football as a kid; all day Sunday; sometimes college ball on Saturday too. I played as a kid too. Wasn’t a starter, but loved the game, loved being on the team. That was all a long time ago. With three school-age kids now and keeping the house going. not much time …
Share the Love
Appreciation, don’t be stingy with it. When you feel gratitude, express it; if you don’t feel it too often, consider why that is so… Perhaps a shift in your thinking, turning to more gratitude, humble attitude, and patient content with the immediate, here and now, thankful, Share the joy, share the love, GOOD.
The Last Bits
The last bits on the plate, the tastiest remnants of a fine meal, Song coming to an end, passed the solo, final chords, let them resonate, sounds so sweet, Snippets of that last dream, as the images and feelings slip into the ether, Night gives way to the dawn of a new day, light pours …

Reset
Some time to reset, just be more simply me. Not a business guy, not a supply chain guy, not worried about the forecast and the plan. Only want to pay attention to the weather forecast, and to those around me, closely. My kids, some time to just be together, not worry about everything else. Just …
Hugger
I’d say I’m a moderate hugger; not too extreme, but definitely willing and able. I hug my kids, my family, my friends, sometimes even my co-workers. Im not gender biased, guys or gals, doesn’t matter, makes no difference. I enjoy the connection, the feelings conveyed, the humanity of it all. Bring on the hugs, GOOD.
