I have so much to be thankful for. I have such an amazing life in such an amazing spot with such an amazing family. I had such an awesome day today. So I’m home and thought about all I had done: surfed at the crack of dawn with my surf brother, met up with some awesome friends for lunch, had a great cross-fit workout with people that I love training with. I absolutely love my friends and my family. People seem to always bring out the best in me. I fell blessed all the time but especially today.
So now I’m home and I’m tired, I don’t really want to work on anything. Then I think about my foundation and where I come from. One person that taught me about enjoying work, relishing it, being passionate about what I do is my Grandpa. He loves working and when he was staying with Ali and I, we could not stop him from working. My surf van which used to be a clutter of absolute mess is now a super organized surfboard storage display system (SOSSDS for short).
I was looking through some of the pictures I took of him while he was working and I could see the determination in his eyes. I thought I’d post the pics since I’m sure everyone will see the same determination I do. He is so awesome, crazy at times, but awesome.
Thanks Grandpa, because of you now I will get back to work.
