Downtown Dave’s Thought(s) For The Week
So we are down to 7 weeks left in the 2025 season on Put in Bay. You still have lots of time to enjoy island life before winter arrives. Yes we only have entertainment on weekends but they are all good entertainers and well worth the trip. Plus this weekend is halfway to St Patty’s Day. It is always a great time. Plus the weather is looking fantastic.
Time for my thought of the week.
The goal for all of us is to create a successful life. I am sure we can all agree that a successful life, in part, is one truly lived. That is, a life filled with accomplished, adventure, highs and lows, struggle, defeat, and victory. ( I could use a few Browns victories) A life is filled filled with action, not ease. To create a life of accomplishment, and one of success, you have to embrace hard work. Hard work creates grit. It gives us a sense of pride, purpose, and accomplishment; without which, we can never truly feel as though we are giving our best to this dying flame that we call life., or our true value to the rest of the people that we are connected to.
What you do in your personal and professional life affects so many others that are connected to you. Why would you want to go through life doing the easy stuff. Embrace your hardships and look to add more to your life. This is how you grow. This is how you evolve. This is how you truly live a meaningful life. For me the last 2 weeks have been a lot of hard work with the Bed and Breakfast and the tailgate. Both were a lot of hard work. Physically I took a beating. But I made memories for so many people. I made people smile. I made them forget about everything else that might be causing them problems. That is why I do what I do. That is why I love Put in Bay. Everybody that comes to Put in Bay has a great time. I love all of you who read my column every week. You make me smile when you read my posts. All of you make everything worth while. So this week come on up to Put in Bay and I bet either me or somebody else will make you smile and forget about your daily life. Have a great week and I will see you soon somewhere.
