Eyes Pointed Outward

True Larry

I love holding onto things. Especially writing instruments. I have some that date back 20 years. Today I'm holding one that was with me during my daughters wedding.

There are Task Talkers and Task Achievers. Brilliant ideas are always introduced. But are never brought to the destination. Because talk is cheap. Ideas are tossed into play every day. The moment the foundation is started. There's a new way to sway the achievers.
