Do You Want To Go Get Ice Cream?

May 08, 2015 by Scott Todnem

When you grow up in a small town, everything is conveniently packed into one location, so travel time and destination are often irrelevant conversation pieces. Even at my young age, I knew these routine trips ended in one of two places, either the Dairy Queen where I was promised we were going, or the Laundromat where I knew we shouldn’t be going.

Most of the time, I didn’t get ice-cream. My grandfather would take a deep breathe, look over at me, and tell me he needed to stop in at the laundromat to see his friend, Buddy, for a minute.

Being Fooled By Expectation

May 07, 2015 by Scott Todnem

So many times in our lives we create ideas in our heads about how something should be.

We imagine how a certain situation would go down or what we expect from an action we take, how people should be reacting to something we do.

To be fooled means that you have been tricked or duped. To be a fool means you are deficient in judgement or wisdom. If one feels fooled, they will feel foolish, most likely to never to do that particular action again but depending on the action, I raise you a challenge: what if you just change your expectations?
