What Will They Remember Of Me?

On this anniversary of the day my Mom died I often think about the life lessons she taught me.  There are so many.  The two that stick out the most are "Never settle" and "Always stay true to yourself."  These have helped me navigate some important decisions in my life and I'm so grateful to her for that.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what my children will remember about me when I'm gone. What important lessons have I taught them?  Are they armed with the tools they'll need to go out and face the world?

I figure the blog is the best way to ensure that they always remember me and what I think is important.  So Billy, Mary Kate, Tommy, Ann, and Matthew, may I present...

Lesson One:  The "Single, Single, Double, Double."  In social situations whenever music is involved, this dance move is key in fitting in.  You can switch it up, add some 1980's era hops or even the current "Dougie" dance move.  Make it your own, but at least you will be armed with the social coolness that I had.

Matt was around to help me make this video.  Notice he's telling me I'm "Looking good."  I know Matt.  I am cool when I do the Single, Single, Double, Double.  And you can be too.  Watch and
learn.

Let's see if they paid attention, shall we?

That's very good.

Lesson Two:  Making a fool of yourself on YouTube and/or a blog is totally worth it if it gets someone to laugh.
