the pinnacle

pretty basic idea, right?   i could go through several different metaphors, or catch-phrases to illustrate the point.

however, that would be a non-valued added activity.   i think it is important that i continue to improve on making the expressions of my ideas as clear and concise as possible.

i was thinking about the word pinnacle yesterday.   it was in response to a good friend asking if i would be a part of his wedding party.  i immediately said yes, as this is an honor that i don't take lightly.   i knew about the wedding but the inclusion in the wedding party was a recent change.   of course, i start to wonder about what i would say for my toast at the reception.   short story even shorter, i would mention how their wedding day was the pinnacle of their relationship...at this point.  

now, i would hope that the relationship would continue to grow, expand, and find new pinnacles.  i know they will.

however, it stirred ideas in myself about what pinnacles i have left for my life.  of course, which ones did i already achieve.   and, yes we have all achieve some pinnacles or you can call them life goals.

i don't know that i have but only one true pinnacle left.   it is something that i use to keep my focused or to work through a shitty situation.   i really just want to be a loving and loved person.    it isn't materialistic.  it is about being proud of what i do, and having others proud to have me involved in their life regardless of how small it may have been or currently is.    as a person, we are more than what we "own", we are the culmination of all our relationships;  the past, present and future.  

so, that is what i strive for.   is everytime that i meet a person, have i left them better than before?   it can be a simple as a simple or laugh.    i think i am doing pretty well but i know there is more that i can and will do.

just my thoughts.
