Great Advice

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

I loved my Dad. He had a wealth of wisdom and he passed along some sage advice to his kids.

One of his best sayings was Don’t sweat the small stuff. And yes he said this long before that little book was published.

Not sweating the small stuff helps me get through easy and trying times. He was ravaged by cancer, hooked up to a bladder bag, a colostomy bag, and a portal. Yet he would still say don’t sweat the small stuff.

I remember asking him if this wasn’t big stuff, what is? His response was it’s all small stuff.

My father went out fighting. Living life to the fullest. And as his favorite vocalist, Frank Sinatra, sang, he did it “My way.”

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
