What is your legacy?

What is your legacy?

Let’s face it – I’m old -- and I attend far too many funerals and memorial services. I attend out of respect for the families and in memory of the people I knew and cared about. Recently I’ve questioned, “What will be my legacy? What can I do that will make a difference?” The definition of “legacy” is a gift that is handed down, from one person to another. But a lasting legacy is more about sharing what you have learned, not just what you have earned. It is more about giving away values rather than valuables. Legacies are not made in a day, or a week or a year. Everything we do or say are deposited to our legacy, built throughout our lifetime.

The Last Word

The storms had passed—but barely. And near a creek by a parking lot, a few homeless friends sat quietly after the wind had come in waves, one after another, like it tried to shake the ground loose beneath them.

Hot Links and legendary cars

Last Saturday, Pittsburg was home to the Annual Texas Hot Link Festival. Hundreds attended the event and were able to experience live music, a cornhole tournament, hot link contests, craft and food vendors, and so much more. This festival also saw the return of many popular events, such as the Car Show and Writer’s Block.
