Crazy

This past weekend felt crazy to me... sanding kitchen cabinets so we can repaint them, but most of it was pretty normal. Made me think of this song by Ben Rector.

Crazy

You ever get tired of turning on the radio
And asking yourself, "Who lives that kind of life?"
Cause I don't.
I need an anthem.
I need a song I can sing.
So raise a glass if your life is crazy.
Crazy normal!

Last night was crazy
Yeah, we tore it up again
Kicked off our shoes
And went to bed by 9pm
We were ballin' and netflix
We turned it up to ten
Last night was crazy
(hahaha)

I threw my hands up in the air
At that detective show we watched
You drank red wine
And I had Britta on the rocks
We made some pasta
With our favorite kind of sauce
Last night was crazy, yeah

Yeah we're living fast and free
Here on our favorite street
So raise a glass with me
Oooh!
You know we're going hard
And that we're living large
Right here in our backyard
Oooh!
This life is crazy!

We got off work
And met at Bed, Bath and Beyond
You looked at curtains
I bought a birthday card for Mom
We wanted tacos
But the taco truck was gone
Last night was crazy, yeah

Then Saturday slept 'til 8: 30
And felt so reengergized
My car was dirty
So I washed it in the drive
We've got dinner reservations
With our friends later tonight
And it might get crazy
We probably won't get crazy
Unless you guys want appetizers!
(Apps for everyone!)

We're living fast and free
Here on our favorite street
So raise a glass with me
Oooh!
You know we're going hard
And that we're living large
Right here in our backyard
Oooh!
This life is crazy!

I don't know where all these party people at
You've gotta have a job and get some sleep
You do the math
And someone's gotta pay for all those bottle service tabs
And that sounds crazy

If you're living fast and free
Here on your favorite street
Then raise a glass with me
Oooh!
And if you're going hard
If this is living large
Then you know who you are
Yeah, we're living fast and free
Here on our favorite street
So raise a glass with me
Oooh!
You know we're going hard
And that we're living large
Right here in our backyard
Oooh!
This life is crazy!

Are you thankful?

-
Are you thankful? How do you show it? Do you write a note? Do you tell someone? Do you make a list? How do you express thankfulness? It always is good for me to think about and express thankfulness to others and God. Never have I gone through the practice of giving thanks and been disappointed. Thankfulness gets the focus off of me and onto others and God. Having meals brought to us in the past week after our new baby has brought the idea of expressing thankfulness to others into focus for me again. I wrote a few thank you notes to those that brought meals and it just feels good to do that. Plus, the act of receiving thanks is good for others as well. I ask our kids quite often when they're whining, "Are you having a thankful heart?" And sometimes I ask them to tell me one thing they're thankful for. It's good to get in the habit of being thankful.

Sending notes

-
I haven't been big on new year's resolutions lately, but I do like the idea of challenging myself in areas where I'd like to get better and setting goals for myself. Something that I've been thinking about doing is sending a note to someone different every week of the year just to say thanks or I'm thinking of you or praying for you. It wouldn't be hard to do and I know it's good for me as well as I think most people appreciate a little note. The other thing I've been thinking about along those lines is sending video notes. I heard this on a podcast recently. Since we don't see people as much these days it's easy to just record a video on your phone and email it or use a service like Loom to record your video and send a link or use an app like Marco Polo. It seems like this would feel even more personal than a note... though I haven't done it yet. So maybe send a note today to someone that's helped you out recently or maybe to someone who

Choose your own adventure

-
Do you remember the "Choose your own adventure" books? You would start the book and then as the story progresses the characters face forks in the road and you get to choose which way they go... which results in going to a specific page and continuing to read. I've been spending a considerable amount of time on marketing automation in the last month and these books from my childhood remind me of how marketing automation works. The big difference though is the customer doesn't realize he's choosing his own adventure as he navigates the communications we set out before him. He's simply making choices based on the marketing that we're putting out there and then based off of what he chooses we choose for him the next communication he receives. As I'm building this out I'm starting out with a pretty blank slate. There's a lot we don't know, but as we get more information from prospects and customers it will become clear who they are and what
