The three keys to success according to Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood fame?

Be Kind.

Be Kind.

Be Kind.

Some days this old world seems a little harsh and crazy. To battle that trend, let's start a kindness revival.

Pause. Take a breath. Move forward with grace, kindness and love.

You won't regret it. I promise.

Community.

Christmas.

Celebrations.

Camaraderie.

All of those things combined for me to make a big promise to a colleague last week. He seems to think I am up for new experiences and big adventures. So, after some consideration, I have decided to celebrate a milestone birthday with him by skydiving. Here's hoping he knows CPR and plans to bring me a change of clothes on the outing.

I am looking forward to 2051.

I love the Ozarks and my own backyard; but I also love traveling in the company of those I love.

I was able to do just that earlier this month on a three-day jaunt to Vegas. A little out of my element, I managed to have a blast.

What follows is my reflection on the journey, the fun, the laughter and the concept of home and Toby Keith's song "I'm Not As Good As I Once Was."

In the end, it's true---There's no place like home and I am as good once as I ever was--believe it or not.

Plus, I can be packed to go anywhere in 20 minutes. Try me and come pick me up. I'm game.
