Uncle Gator's Kiawah Adventures

  What a long day! Months ago, we booked our flights, we decided to pay a little extra, so we did not have to get up in the middle of the night to drive to the airport, yes, we booked a flight that leaves around 10:00 am which would get us to CHS around 11:30, plenty of time to pick up the rental car, stop at total wine, drive thru BiLo then to HT, and ultimately arriving in paradise! As we all know getting to paradise at times can turn into an adventure in itself. We as one might expect Friday evening about 7:00 pm, I get a text from the airlines saying that our flight has been canceled, you we were rebooked on a flight that leaves at 7:10 am. Oh well let the fun begin. This is still doable, just means be at the airport at 6:10, then that means leave the house at 4:10, which means getting up at 3:10. Still not the best but doable, just need to put the bottle of Rex away, let 62 and 621 know that they need to be at our house at 4:00am, and pack my bags. Sounds very simple, but as y...

Since this is still a very strange year, all we can do is watch the beach cam. Did you ever notice that every week one sees the exact same thing? 6 knows that there are different people, thus different tents, umbrellas, towels and bikes. From a distance it is all the same, or as 6 likes to call it the majesty of paradise. Is that not true of everything? If one chooses to take a stand from the background, one never sees the truth, and thus everything is the same as our own perception. Think of this, imagine if one had the ability to focus that same camera on a specific part of that same beach, and be able to include sound, one would get a completely different truth. Week after week the people would change, the conversation would change, the individual perspectives would change, but the sounds of the wind, the breaking of the waves, would remain the same just as you were looking at it from a distance.   Since 6 can’t be there to spin tales first had, the only option he has now is to ...

This has been a very strange year, we have all had to make adjustments in many day to day activities. Are these changes good, are they lasting, or will we fall back. What is change, change all boils down to a choice. We can either give up, or give in, or stand strong behind our path. Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. There is black and white, do we live in the gray? No position ever comes with without consequence, the consequences are dependent if you are a simple product of the day. Never fear the day, for before you know it the wind will blow those consequences into the past, focus on the path that will serve you for eternity. Leave the day, cast it away, don’t be a product of the day, for that day is not eternity. Be true, trust your heart, for that is the choice you always have, to forge an unbeatable path. Given that what is your choice? While 6 looks at the beach cam for the millionth time, one thing that he notices is that there are many who make the choice to ...
