GRATITUDE - May 22, 2012

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF ALL OF US.

We are an 'American Idol' family like a couple of million others and we watch for different reasons..my thirteen year old roots for the 16 year old girl from Chula Vista, partially because her best friend's mother's hairdresser is third cousins with Jessica Sanchez' aunt...or something like that.  Very talented young girl.  Amazing.  My wife is partial to Joshua Ledet (voted off at number 3) because he is technically perfect and she appreciates him at that level.  Another amazing performer.  Great things ahead for both of them.


My preference is for Phillip Phillips.  Average guy from a small town.  OK singer - nothing at all like the other two of the top three.  But, he has no pretensions, stays true to his style, has a gazillion screaming teenie girls texting their thumbs off for him...so, he sings romantic songs and looks right into the camera...all the girls know he is singing just for them...


He doesn't have the God-given talent of the other two...but, has made it to the finals maximizing what he has and using his "moment " to make the most of it.


We all have those 'moments" cross our path...mostly we recognize them in our rear view mirror.  A few months ago Phillip was working in his dad's pawn shop in Leesburg, Georgia.  He is now on the cusp of a million dollar recording deal.


Phillip Phillips - HOME


Moments and opportunities are in front of us all the time...sometimes we make the most of them by NOT taking advantage of them and are better off for it.  Hopefully, maturity and hindsight become foresight and we can actually recognize the paths to take and the ones to avoid.


I am thankful for the ones that chose me and I was open to the moment.
