Hero

Today's Bingo: Hero. The masked man. Superman. Wonderwoman. Your dad. The change agent laughed at by the crowd. Mr. C, the guidance counselor in high school, the one guy who told you who you really were. Alice Walker. Mom. That person you can count on. Remember: for someone, you are the one.

Finish

Today's Bingo: Finish. Friday. Happy hour. The finish line. The thing you've always wanted to do your entire life and you're almost there and this is the moment: Don't lose focus. Breathe deep, recognize that what ever happens next is also important, and be grateful. Most of all, be grateful.

New

Today's Bingo: New. Creation. Sunrise. The uncarved block. Another shot at the project. A baby's first cry. This day. Every day. Everything is possible if we're willing to learn.

White

Today's Bingo: White. One jagged flake and his billion friends. Snowballs. Snow angels. Your wedding dress. Your shirt on the first day of work. Warm white sands and a long, slow walk. A blank piece of paper waiting for your genius of pen, brush, or paper airplane.

Grumpy

Today's Bingo: Grumpy. Rams locking horns. Children screaming at their mothers. Husbands and wives pouting like Grumpy dwarf. Get involved with grumpy and you'll be grumpy too. Step back and watch: grumpy can be about the cutest thing you'll ever see.

Contrast

Copyright Rob Allen 2009

Today's Bingo: Contrast. Snow on a sunny day. Lincoln's America and today. What you believe is possible and what you're actually capable of. Sunflowers rise from the ground every spring and take over the entire state of South Dakota: Persevere.

Gray

Today's Bingo: Gray. The somber sky. An old man's beard. Your favorite little goat at the petting zoo as a child, who bit you, and just wouldn't love you. The high mountains rising above everything we worry about.

Confusion

Today's Bingo: Confusion. Waves tumbling the surfer off the board. The child lost in the mall. You, at work, wondering what next. The surfer will rise. The stranger will help. Your crossroads will become the next adventure.

Dream

Today's Bingo: Dream. You are a result of what you think is possible. Every moment, every minute, every hope, every happiness: Let your imagination rush with what can be. You're not stuck, you just forgot to dream.

Warmth

Today's bingo: Warmth. The sun on your skin, the fire you just lit, a hug, a dream of a better day, a cup of mom's soup, and the part of you that fires up every time you remember: I am worth loving.
