Title: 1000 Posts and the Big Picture Post by: ALTideUp on September 14, 2013, 08:47:10 AM Well, this is my 1000th post. I saved it for the occasion of the 5th game of the century in 5 years.
A thousand is a lot, and it's a bit surprising how quickly they add up with no particular effort. This happened unnoticed. This caused me to think about other things we can do that require no particular effort, but could add up, unnoticed by us. I'm thinking about a kind smile, a held door, a head nod to someone in your neighborhood who might wonder if they are welcome. A buck in the tip jar, an extra few minutes chatting with a kid who might not be getting a lot of attention at home. How easy it would be to rack up a thousand of these things, unnoticed by you, but noticed a thousand times. Today I will be helping with a youth trip, away from the flat screen and the cold beer in the fridge. I'll be thinking about the game and rooting for the Tide. When i return I will enjoy watching the highlights, sipping that cold beer, enjoying life in proper perspective.

I hope you have a DVR. I have a feeling you are going to want to watch the whole game once you hear the outcome. :popcorn2: Title: Re: 1000 Posts and the Big Picture Post by: XBAMA on September 14, 2013, 10:21:50 AM Well, this is my 1000th post.

And I can't say I'm sorry to have missed the cardiac arrest I surely would have suffered had I watched it live. Speaking of which, are we all present and accounted for?
