Losing my father recently has really changed my outlook on life… a lot! 

After coming to the realization that life is so very short, I sat down and made a list of things that I love to do (other than the obvious – relationships)

I remember a few years back when I used to skateboard. 

I remember the feeling when I was skating. 

That moment is pure life.

Really living life and enjoying the moment could mean a moment in prayer, a walk on the beach, engaged in mediation in a cool spot, playing music, swimming in the ocean, or staring at the sun. 

All of those are awesome things. Another awesome thing is skateboarding.

There’s not a lot to it, and in the simplicity is the beauty. 

It’s not the skateboarding that is the thing though – it is just one thing in life that I do that keeps me fresh.

Playing with my children keeps me grounded. Having a nice chat with my wife keeps me head over heels for her. Laughing at the moments I have with my family is medicine to me.

Not only that, my sons have been encouraging me to skate again – so that’s mostly the reason! Here’s to some good vibes skating. 

Do you have something that keeps you fresh in your life? What is it? Are you doing it? Why or why not?Do it if you can!

Love ya, JT
