Friday Five

This week's theme is SOMETHING MORE . . . there are things and events in life that make such an impact and difference in the quality of our lives or enriching and fulfilling us as in a dream job or a special gift of little monetary value rich in sentiment . . . something more that was missing before.

Elaborate as much or as little as you want!


1. My "something more" as a child . . . my teddy bear. I was six days old when I recieved *Teddy* as a Christmas gift from my grandparents. Teddy was to be my companion on many an adventure. He traveled to D.C. with my dad and I on a business trip, got to meet our Congressman, and toured the Smithsonian with us. He's ragged and torn, but now takes up a place of honor in my home.

2. My "something more" as a teenager . . . memories of my two brothers playing hockey. I was probably their biggest fan! I went to every one of their games, even went to almost all of their practices (even those 4 am practices)! I'd have a cold drink waiting for them after they got off the ice, and I'd carry their gear bags out to the car. I'd yell and scream myself hoarse cheering them on!!

3. "Something more" from my school days . . . Summer vacations!! We had a summer cottage up in Houghton Lake. Many, many fond memories of taking the sailboat out, of going "to town" to shop at the quaint gift shops, or play putt-putt golf, or ride the go-carts. Going with Grandma to Dairy Queen late in the evening for an ice cream cone. Lazy summer days of being just kids - of not having a care or worry in the world.

4. My "something more" as an adult . . . wow, narrow it down to one experience, eh? I can't ... I guess my something more would be my ability to laugh at life, especially when it's at its worse. Life is just too short to take seriously all the time!!

5. My future "something more" . . . To overcome the obstacles I've been given ... to start my own business out of state ... to continue to grow and to finally prosper. It's been a long journey. But it'll happen ...
