Today was the first day of posting to the new home of the Pilgrim’s Chronicles.  Above my dear friend

and great guide in the new world of WordPress, R.C. Concepcion.  I had a great trip down to Kelbt Media and

I’m thrilled with the results of the first work on the new website, more to come!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had another bad morning with Delta, late flights, almost missed connections, the usual. The point is not the Delta has slipped badly, the point is that I didn’t act like I should have. No, before you make too many wrong assumptions, I didn’t blow up on anyone, it was all internal, but I didn’t handle it like I should have. It reminds me of a story the famous motivational speaker Zig Ziggler tells. He once was in the airport after a talk and ready to go home, tired and homesick. Just before he was to fly home, they board posted a delayed message. The plane which was supposed to leave at 2:00 p.m. and was now delayed until 6:00 p.m. He went to desk to ask what was wrong but was behind another man who was even more exercised than he was. The man said to the ticket agent, do you have any idea, who I am, and that I know the president of the airline personally? The ticket agent calmly said sir I’m sorry you’re upset but the flight still doesn’t leave until 6:00 p.m. The point was simple, you can kick and scream as much you want, but the plane still doesn’t leave until 6:00 p.m.

Life throws us curves and we can dodge them, laugh, and go on, or act like I did this morning and get all worked up inside and act like a child. Thank God no one knew except for my wife who got several raging texts, but then she’s used to Grouchy Bill.

I wish I could say that I always keep my cool, sadly I can’t, but can I get some extra points for confessing????!!!! O.K. can’t blame I guy for trying………

Blessings,

Sorry to post so late today, I’ve been preparing for a series of pro calls in Florida for the rest of the week. This is going to be short and sweet. For a day and half I got to be home with my bride, color in my life. In the morning I will fly down to Tampa and see several good clients who are also friends, more color. Last week, in spite of the tragedy at Reno, I was surrounded by friends who shared the pain with me, color.

God gives us people, people that matter to us in our lives, when the world becomes devoid of color, when things turn monochrome, it is those people that bring the color back. The people that come to my workshops and have become close friends, the people I teach with, the professional tech reps that work side by side with me, my grandchildren, and just friendly strangers we meet along the way, they are the color.

I thank God everyday that He never allows the shadows and darkness to linger for very long before He sends in a beautiful bouquet of color.

Thank You Father for caring so much for us…….

be blessed,

the pilgrim

I will blog from Florida for the rest of the week.
