That time I went to see with and sat in the dark after it was over thinking, it's time, it's time, to birth my own creative visions, to make my own work, because what I have to contribute matters, and I'm tired of holding myself back. And because did it, and did it, and knocked it out of the park.

(Part 2)

What he wouldn't say, but is true...

He inspires everyone around him. His moral compass is points true north. He possesses intelligence, humor, and uncommon compassion. He loves his kids so much that it makes him a little nuts when he can't always help them. He is deeply ethical and
committed to his work: a great role model for his kids and others. He is there for the people he loves 100% and no matter what.

He has lived first sixty years according to the best of his beliefs. I'm incredibly lucky to have been around for 39 of them.

LOVE, Dawn

My Dad passed away one year ago today. I'm missing him something fierce. I feel like my family did an amazing job pulling together over the holidays, but my grief has felt overwhelming these past few days. I just found something I'd written for him for his 60th birthday, and it made me smile. It seems a fitting tribute to share today. (page 1 of 2)

This I Believe
By Paul Andrew Dreyer Sr.
as imagined by his daughter, Dawn K. Dreyer

I believe that the best Christmas and birthday presents at are good kids. I believe in cheering on your team, not booing the competition (unless the competition is playing dirty against the Hurricanes). I believe in encouraging my kids to believe they can do anything in the world they want to accomplish - no, I believe my kids can do anything they set out to accomplish. I believe no sports injury is all that serious unless there is a bone visible. I believe you should love your job and give it your all. I believe in inspiring others by example. I believe in helping kids do their homework and that understanding the problem is more important than just getting the right answer. I believe that parents who yell at kids at Little League games should go to jail. I believe we live in a patriarchal society but I wish my daughter wouldn't bring it up so often. I believe that "try your best" is the eleventh commandment. I believe you should never listen to anyone who says, "You can't." I believe that kids who grow up being thrown in the air and getting knocked down on the ground in various athletic endeavors learn resilience, not to take themselves too seriously, and to never let the size of the other guy keep them from running toward the goal. I believe I have the best friends in the world. I believe in going to bed early and getting up early; my wife believes in staying up late and getting up late. I believe this difference in our personalities is a key to our successful marriage. I believe in taking my kids out beyond the breakers to look at the giant sea turtle, even if it makes my wife a little nervous. I believe I have a beautiful, creative, and wonderful wife and I am the luckiest guy in the world.

I celebrate you, moms! I celebrate my mom, who I'm very lucky to be able to go and see today and let her know how much she means to me! And I celebrate the moms who have been generous with their own children, and invited me into their lives, to love and care for them, and to be loved. And I celebrate my own fierce mama bear energy, because even though I've never raised children of my own (and wanted to very much) I find ways to bring that energy into the world. And I extend my empathy and care to y'all if this is a complicated or difficult day for you. And if you happen to be struggling with, say, a teenage daughter... it got better for us! photo: a rare moment of peace, late 1980s, Mom and me!

It still feels miraculous to me to be able to just dig holes and plant things.The I feel about my is out of proportion to the achievement of them. But I'm not one to argue with disproportionate amounts of joy.

Last November, I planted a bunch of bulbs in my front yard, with the same low/no expectations I brought to my . I'd had the bag of bulbs from Costco for a while, and I finally dug a ditch and threw them all in there, and covered them up before the ground froze. About a week ago, when I noticed the return of the daffodils that the previous owners of my house planted, it occurred to me to check and see if mine had broken above ground. YES! Just a couple of inches. Now whenever I come home, even if I'm feeling only OK or low, I feel a little thrill at the buds (some kind of tulip, I think) working their way up. Sometimes I love rainy days, but today I'm feeling kind of dreary and sad. So I decided to go take pics of the babies. Good to focus on the green of spring coming.
