Monday Motivation: Fathers Day Revisited.

Well, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Hope everybody had an amazing weekend. I can't wait to share a little bit about mine. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for joining in. I always like to wait till that little Cadre goes ding. And then I know that we're all here and we're live and it's just a, I threw you guys off a little bit. I apologize about that. You know, Normally I'm at 8am today I'm at 9, so just kind of tweaked it little bit. Life happens. It is what it is.

So good morning everybody. We are here. We are live. I just wanted to share my weekend with Father's Day and something that my wife does that is really, really important. Something my wife does. It's really, really important. She always says we have to keep things special. We have to keep things really, really special in our house. And it's important. And so I just wanted to share how our family keeps things special. So with that being said, I'm going to jump right in. Okay? So for Father's Day, every year the one thing that my wife does is she has the kids make cards.

Okay? So every year the kids make cards. I, I, they ask like, what do you want? What do you want? I always say, nothing, nothing, nothing. I don't want anything. All I want is the cards. So I have all the cards saved from, you know, year one, year two, year three, right? So I got this, this big group of cards, but I want to share the cards this year. So you can see there's a little bit of theme with them. But regardless, keeping the big thing, the big thing and keeping things special. So I always cannot wait to see what the cards look like.

So this one is from my boy Cam, okay? And so you can see he drew on it, he wrote a little bit on it. And then he wrote, dear dad, your basketball is not lame. I am wondering where the glove is this year. Happy Father's Day. And then he wrote that he had some pictures on the side. So that is my eight year old, Cameron. And then my wife, she knows how much I love this thing called athletic greens. So she made a different card that's kind of a play off of their branding within, right? So she wrote this, which is funny, smart, athletic, determined, provider, physical, comedian, loving, super dad.

And then inside she wrote all the words that she thinks, you know, quote unquote, describe dad. So she has Cadre, mouse, hunter, intermittent fasting, nicknames, T wolves, 10 miler, Starbucks, lawn care, decaf, golf, bravo, van, organizer, motivator, Date line. Right? So here's this one. That's from my wife. And again, you have no idea how I just cannot wait for this day in the morning to open up my cards. Okay? And then now this one's from my daughter, Ada. So Ada had. She went all artistic on the bit today, right?

So she went all artistic and she wrote to the MVP of Dad Goes to the Glove, because they call me the Glove when we play basketball out on the court. To the Glove. He calls himself the Glove and plays like a pro. Drawing all the end ones and stealing the show. Never letting the nub. This is a nub. Never letting the nub. Holding him back. Always on the attack. As a dad, he's number one. Thank you for always bringing all the fun. Love you, Ada. Okay, so then there's this one. Okay, so that's my. And now my.

I got my last one, and Landon's is in the mail. That's my son. Okay, ready for this? All right, so this is my son, Drew. And then he wrote this one. Okay. And it says, dad. Well, here, I gotta look real quick. Okay, so it's like cooking. And it says, well done, medium well, medium, medium rare. And then you. And then it says, dad, you are the rarest of all of them. You are a real one of one, Drew. Happy Father's Day. So I wanted to share this because this is something that there's 365 days in a year, all right?

And you guys know about. I talked about Mother's Day before with M. And we have kfc, right? That's her thing. That's her one special thing. That this, for me, is Father's Day, right? So this is. This is Father's Day. I keep every one of them. These are one of the greatest things in the world to me. I cannot tell you the 364 days that I wait and wait and wait to see what these kids come up with with the new cards. So. And. And M. And they're always so creative and funny and sometimes thoughtful and whatnot.

So I just want to share a way in which our family keeps things special. And I hope that you have things in your life that you keep things special as well. I think it's so important. That's really what Father's Day is all about for me, is this moment. This moment with these kids, knowing how much effort, energy, and time we put in to doing the thing. And they celebrate you for the moment, and it's really special. I also want to share that one other thing that. That M asked, you know, what do you want for father's Day?

And I always said, I would love to have one of my children make dinner every year. So last night, Drew made dinner, and so he made steak tips and a couple other things, and it was so delicious. It was amazing. But the big thing was, is he took the time to do it, you know, to take the time to take the effort, to take the energy. So I encourage you all, when you listen to this today, to ask yourself, how can I make days in this? 365 days that carry a really special to it. Because this I cannot wait.

I. I mean, 364 more days, and I cannot wait to see what they come up with next for cards. It's everything, and that's the day for me. So you guys take care. Have a wonderful, incredible, dynamic, thoughtful, loving week. Lift up some spirits for some folks. We know we all need that right now. You know, switching gears, you know, with Juneteenth, there was a tragedy in Minneapolis that the hearts are heavy. There's a lot going on, but for the moment, you know, we could take that and share. So you all take care.

Love somebody up today. If you see somebody at work and you're crossing paths with them and you have an extra 45 seconds, start out with this. How are you? And when they say, good, say, well, what is good? What's good? Okay, that's my challenge for everybody. Let's not end on good. How are you? Good. Okay? And then it's kind of done. How are you? I'm good. Well, what's good? Tell me what's good in your life. Okay, Push somebody a little bit more to pry. Just a little bit more. I'm going to practice it here.

And 20 seconds, okay? Because I guarantee when I ask the individual at Starbucks and they know I'm going to challenge them, I'm going to say, how? How are you? And they're gonna say, good. I'm gonna say, can you give me a little bit more? Okay, but you do the same. And that's all I got today. But this was something very, very, very special that I wanted to share with y' all. And you take care. Thanks for always being a rock for me here. This is always special. Every Monday morning, I have 52 of them that I get up for.

This is special. This is truly, like, what I live for on Mondays. So thank you, guys. Take care again. Have a wonderful week. And like I said, push somebody on good today. Bye. Bye.
