RSS FeedA lot done, and nothing accomplished...

I was writing an email to one of my closest friends tonight and I got to thinking about some of the things I've done in my 33 years on this planet...
I've taken a class cinematography taught by Steven Spielberg,
I've
taken a trumpet lesson from Doc. Severson,
I’ve shook hands with the
President (the first Bush),
I’ve made good friends and lost good
friends,
I’ve met Lonestar & Lee Greenwood and had pictures taken
with them,
I’ve performed in the half time show of a Bowl game,
I've
seen a UFO and a Ghost,
I’ve been to the Olympics,
I’ve
walked on the launch pads at Cape Canaveral and seen the shuttle rolling
out on its crawler to be blasted into orbit,
I’ve found pearls in
oysters that I pulled up from the ocean myself,
I’ve seen Niagara
Falls in the snow,
I’ve walked Bourbon Street in New Orleans,
I
was blessed to be able to give a sermon in front of a full church when I
was only 16,
I’ve seen the sun set over the mountains, and rise over
the ocean,
I’ve driven through the Vineyard’s of Ontario, Canada,
I’ve
flown a Boing 747 flight simulator,
I’ve rafted class 6 rapids & swam
with Dolphins in the wild,
I’ve hiked on the Appalachian Trail &
Watched Hailey’s Comet from the top of Tray Mountain on a night so clear
I was able to see it with my bare eyes,
I’ve eaten Rattlesnake &
Alligator,
I’ve held a fawn in my arms and nursed it with a bottle
after its mother was hit by a truck,
I’ve loved and lost,…
I can’t say I’ve done it all, but, if it was over today, I’ve done enough to feel satisfied.
No, I can’t say that I have no regrets… I have a few. Some, I’ll take to my grave.
Yes, I hurt right now. I’ve known pain, plenty of pain in my life. But, pain is part of life.
But, all for all I've done, I feel I have accomplished nothing....
