On a fairly regular basis, the girls and I like to roughouse a little. It never really gets out of hand (c’mon, they’re girls), but I always know things are about to get serious when Teagan says “Dad, take your glasses off.”

For some reason tonight I thought there is a message in that for us all. Be it Carpe Diem, live life to the fullest, there is no tomorrrow…there are a million quotes to express the sentiment, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard it put more succinctly than from our three year old. Ok, maybe Nike…

Anyway…

Take your glasses off.
