Places I remember. Races I remember.
Or, round round get around I got around.
My message for you today is to live your life with gusto. The happiest people are those that learn to rise above the day to day, ho hum, humdrum business as usual. Those that define their own joy. It doesn’t hurt to surround yourself with like minded people. But there will be plenty that won’t share in your reverie. I once heard a dear sweet friend of mine receive a dire warning (threat?), “You’ll be judged by the company you keep!!” As it turns out, not such a bad thing if you choose the right crowd.
I’ve had privilege of company. Worked with some of the best and brightest and ambitious and hardworking and respectful and decent young people to aspire to running potential achieved. Had the bad egg or two to be sure, but no bad apple’s going to spoil my whole bunch girl.
How many now? In my fifteenth year in Nebraska. The faces. The places. The races.
And here are a couple of my favorites. My dear, sweet Linda and that Nebraska Legend, Ivan Marsh.
