What is Important To You?

I've been thinking about things that are important as we have thoughts about making changes.  Reading the books Quiet and The Tipping Point have made for some good conversations in this realm.  It seems strange that I've reached my 5th decade and I'm still thinking about what I want to do.  More precisely, what do you do when you have done what you set out to do?  You know, your answer when the teacher asks you, "What are you going to do when you grow up?"  I've been the English teacher and baseball coach I set out to be.  So what now?  So I'm still asking the question.

As I read and watch TV I think about what is entering my brain, especially in relation to what I have been thinking. I've recently got hooked on a show that is popular now.  It appears like fluff and the drama shown is sometimes contrived.  But it hit me recently as I read this article by DW Ulsterman in the Ulsterman Report, there is more to this show than I thought.  Going back to the question in the title,  what is important?  Family, honesty, concern for others, faith in something bigger than yourself. All important and all shown by example on this show.  All ideals that are important regardless of what a person does.  So what is this show?  Duck Dynasty.

It's worth watching. And I love the beards.
