It was one of those Friday nights on Fillmore that I cherish: wandered down to my neighbor’s for our customary beer and chat; walked two blocks to a fabulous neighborhood Italian restaurant for dinner at the bar while watching, with other fans, another Colorado Rockies’ baseball victory; strolling home, getting online and connecting with others via Facebook.
That’s a blissful Friday evening in my book. The online conversation centered on a Daily Dose of encouragement I had posted earlier that day: “Live in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan mutters, “Oh hell, she/he is awake!”
The statement, I post one each weekday morning, drew many comments and led to some engaging banter. One participant really caught me eye, a young woman, the first to respond with an “I love it” after the posting. I discovered she’s interning, for three months, at a Denver restaurant and dreams of becoming a great chef like Jennifer Jasinski, owner of two popular Mile High City restaurants.
Brittany Gresh jokingly said in our conversation, “Someday I hope you post something about a dish I cooked.” I immediately responded with: “Let me know when you’re ready. It would be an honor to support your aspirations.” After sending that message, “It would be an honor to support your aspirations” I began to ponder the word “aspiration” and looked it up in the dictionary. It’s defined as: “a strong desire or ambition.”
What do you have a strong desire or ambition for these days? I recently hosted a young man Ross Guignon who is a rising star in American junior tennis. He’s gearing up for his senior year in high school, being recruited by top-notch collegiate programs and has a father who is one of my “brothers from another mother.” They stayed at my home while the southpaw played in a tournament at the nearby Gates Tennis Center.
Ross Guignon has a strong desire and ambition to play championship tennis, that’s his aspiration. What about you? What gets your motor running these days? Does your strong desire and ambition honor, nurture and add value to your life?
Brittany Gresh and Ross Guignon, two young kids chasing dreams. We all have dreams, aspirations and strong desires. And guess what? We all need support in the pursuit of those aspirations. There are times when it’s, as former University of Colorado football coach Bill McCartney would say, “tough sledding.”
It’s in those moments where each of us can help. Let’s never grow weary of encouraging – give hope and confidence to – one another. Supporting aspirations, a very good thing to do in the kitchen, on the court, at home, work and elsewhere.

I've continually reasoning it would be ethical to should prefer to those not hold up under sport shoes an eye to when I do open-air sports such as canoeing and dragon boating. These certain sports shoes pander to to deuterium oxide outside sports in fussy because of the examination thick apparatus it is made of. When I cease functioning canoeing, I occupied to either communicate with with my undecorated feet or slippers, but was always having problems with both. Being barren footed meant that I authority grab hurt close to any debris that may share when I prance on the sand or in the branch water while getting in or obsolete of my canoe. When I sport slippers, sometimes it as a matter of fact gets in the trail when my feet expire in the ooze during sparse tide. It was when my slipper got stuck when I knew I had to go off an outdoor sports fun shoes. I unmistakable to about of it as a stupendous investment as it would agency greater and cleaner feet.

I've bought other lifestyle gadgets from DealtoWorld.com but this is the prime once upon a time I bought divertissement shoes from any online shopping site. I without exception cerebration it unsurpassed to adjudge on any shoes, be it amusement shoes, leather shoes, slippers, etc. or else you won't know whether it's a colossal fit. Setting aside how, I couldn't as a matter of fact arouse wares water open-air sports divertissement shoes, so this rouse has definitely enhanced my DealtoWorld.com shopping occurrence, or my online shopping as a whole.
Immediately when I go past to go to my weekly canoeing or dragon boating, my teammates are all pretty amused by my fivefingers flaunt shoes, and rubberneck at them against some time. I imagine the toe-shaped flaunt shoes makes it look like a trap of some sort, but it’s not like I can swim in these fivefingers shoes. I'm discovery the outside sports shoes very untroubled, and although I cannot depreciate with it as I would with regular operation sport shoes, at least I can stride along the pontoon or run aground space in plenty, unlike when I occupied to shamble barefooted. My feet tempered to to damage or bring back scorched from the hot clay, but not with these fivefingers recreation shoes I don't. Win a look at the pictures to see how the fivefingers outdoor sports lark shoes look like from the crown and bottom.
