Wedding is coming!

Everyone in the family is gearing up for the big day! My eldest, Christian, is about to step up to the alter and cement a life with his lady love, Jaime. She's a wonderful girl and they're about the best fit anyone has ever seen in a couple. I'm overjoyed that Chris was lucky enough to find such a fantastic lady to spend his life with. Fathers worry about those things, ya know.
So, dresses are being tried and bought. Shoes are ferreted our and broken in. Plans are being made to maximize the time of celebration and merriment. The air is becoming saturated with anticipation and joy. The old man's ready, as he has his best tropical shirt all wrinkled up and ready for the occasion. The beach shorts are properly ragged, and it should be quite a sight. Ha! Scared ya, didn't I? No, pop is doing the right thing and will be in bib 'n tucker for the great day. June 3rd is approaching too fast, and it's going to be a truly great day for the whole clan!

Where's the Motivation?


Did you ever wonder where all the motivation went? Why is it more and more people seem to need a swift kick in the pants to get themselves moving. Regardless of what they're supposed to be doing, be it their job, civic responsibilities, friendship maintenence, or family life, people seem less and less likely to join in and step up to the plate.
Sure, it's easier to lay back and watch the world go by. Hey, pop another brewski and pass the popcorn! From a spectator's position it's lots easier to criticise, and in the process of doing nothing, you've left nothing for anyone to be critical of. You can always claim you're gathering info so you can spring instantly into the fray at any moment. Let's see 'em prove you aren't.
Motivation. Where does it come from? I know where I get mine. Let em know where you get yours. All of us here North of Disorder are dying to know. However, we don't want to have to go out and find out for ourselves.
