Guest Blog from my Nephew Sam



From Sam Showalter:

last sunday we got a lopsopso puppy his name is grizzle and he is 4 months old we adopted him at pent land .Sam and Shawn are starting to partice track sam did it lat year and he did the 200 what is awsome.Sam is going to smoke Shawn at state thanks for reading this

So there you have it.  The simplicity, directness, and honesty from a youngster.  I like Sam's blog.  No pretense.  No pretending with big fancy words and perfect grammar.  Just sharing what is on his heart.

Things lately have been stressful at work.  We have been planning and thinking and forecasting and working through issues.  And sometimes it is nice to just view the world through a child's eyes.  Sam isn't concerned about getting the right people in the right places, he isn't worried about growing a company, he isn't talking about leadership.  Sam is just being Sam and enjoying life as it comes.

Thanks for the lesson Sam.  You're the best!
