The Start Of A New Day

Good Morning! I say that with excitement because I do have so much to be thankful for.

This past week the news has been filled with the deaths of some very popular celebrity figures. The most recent the death of ‘Pitchman’ Billy Mays.

I have not spent a whole lot of time thinking about Michael Jackson, Farah or Ed’s passing but for some reason Billy Mays stayed in my thoughts for awhile. It does not matter if you liked his famous commercials or not, he was someone most everybody knew.

I must admit that I enjoyed watching his show on discovery, Pitchman. Actually my kids liked to too. The process of taking someone’s invention and marketing it to millions of viewers was pretty cool. What a great feeling it must have been for Billy to watch so many achieve the American dream of success, with their inventions.

I am sure all of Billy’s close friends and family will miss him. I know his fans will miss him, hearing that loud introduction….’I'm Billy Mays’

I guess hearing about Billy’s death hit a little closer to home for me because I enjoy selling, or sharing something that I like and use with others. I enjoy learning about the whole marketing process. This was Billy’s concept; he used everything that he put his name on. Sure it was his business, but he was always careful about what product or service he sold.

A good friend once told me, “Funerals are for the living.” So true…

So today let us all reflect a little on someone we have lost, but do not make it an excuse, not to get done the things that make it a great day for us and everyone around.
