Girl you make me weak with the words you say, looking like a rainbow you brighten up my day, I'd love to give you flowers just to see you smile, and it's because I'm a romantic and that's part of my style, to walk along the water watching the waves hit the shore, is my idea of a perfect date and it means so much more, I tell you I'm a romantic in all I do and say, and I hope you can appreciate that as I try to brighten your day, I want to look in those eyes that say hello to me, and the look of heaven that I love to see.

My heart is like a book I leave it out to view, waiting for someone to read and I hope that person is you, I like to be funny and make others laugh and smile, but when it comes to love I want to be serious once in a while, to share how much I care and the love inside of me, that's what I want show someone who is truly special to me, to share this gift of love that I freely choose to give, in the way I choose to have fun in life it's how I choose to live, I want you to be my lighthouse that guides my ship to shore, the one that's special in my life who means everything my forever more.

A child is innocent with a heart of gold, no hatred or racism until they are told, happiness should be encouraged and that's not hard to do, when you see those innocent eyes looking up at you, take the time to listen to what they have to say, it might just be the thing to brighten your day, if you show love and affection they will see the world that way, and it could mean more than any words can say, to see the laughter and glee, is motivation and inspiration to me, because I have no kids don't ever feel sad for me, I had the chance to be with others' kids and that means the world to me.

I can see your smile even if we've never met, I'm waiting patiently it's not quite time yet, the talks on the phone that go from here to there, it's creating feelings that I long to share, our chemistry is magic can't wait to meet at last, having fun talking about showtunes and moments from our past, I feel like a kid waiting for you to hang up and you tell me to do the same, neither of us doing it playing a teenage game, I'm feeling really special and I hope you do too, and I can't wait to embrace and give hugs to you, in life we need a lighthouse to guide our ship to shore, maybe you'll be mine and so very much more.

Good morning! I made it to 50! As I sit back and reflect especially on this last year I've surprised some by not letting bad things that have happened be negatives but positives. That's has a lot to do with Thrive Zp actually. It's allowed me to be able to.make better choices and in turn help others do the same. And for me to put the Zp logo on my prosthetic speaks volumes and has others asking me about it! If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. Zp is open to EVERYONE just reach out to me or Thrive Zp and you can take that fork in the road! I also reflected back on my family. Like I said family isn't always blood. These kids who have become adults have their own kids but they still call me " baby Carl" which I love! And they tell me their lives we're better because I was in it! They see me as their Uncle and I'm proud of it! They helped me become the person I am and I needed them as much as they needed me. I thank them so much! I wish the world had a little piece of what I have it would make a difference. So as always motivate and inspire someone it could be life-changing!#thrivezp #thrivewithzp #zpchallenge #zpstar #zp_challenge #dougmcmillon #walmartradiodjs #walmartwayneboro #sparkkindness #sparkwellness #madeitto50 (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFeXMDzAhEM/?igshid=1fgy6opbxagp1

Sorry I've been busy getting back into the swing of things. Tomorrow makes it a week since I've received my new leg and it's coming along. "Don't adapt to the energy in the room influence the energy in the room" which means to me don't ever settle be one who encourages change. Latosha Smith I like that and I'm running with it! My thoughts and prayers are with some that I know that have surgery and you've got this! And I tell everyone never be afraid to ask "are you ok" this is suicide prevention month and you never know what someone's going through and you might be the one to make a difference. And as always motivate and inspire someone today! It could be life changing! #thrivewithzp #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #zpstar #dougmcmillon #walmartwayneboro #walmartradiodjs #walmartworld #sparkkindness #sparkwellness #30daystorise (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7fHfTghbN/?igshid=1a0imhepl17lf

So good morning! Hope everyone is well and blessed! Yesterday I saw Surge's post about putting on your socks and shoes and me being a recent foot amputee I responded that I only have to worry about putting on the right one. I put in there about the fact that if I can make light of my situation because my situation doesn't own me. It just reinforced that I have made peace with my situation and look at it as a positive. I'm not hurting anymore and that's a true blessing! And I've had others, so many others reach out to me and tell me I motivate and inspire them and they tell me what they're going through it's awesome! And I tell them we'll get through it! This is just another journey that I've been through and I'll take it one day, one better choice at a time. It gets better you just have to believe. If you let negativity in you defeat yourself from the beginning. I love Zp. I love the empowerment it has given me and reaching out to others is something I love to and will continue to do. Do you know I'm a preacher's son? Sometimes it comes out! My hope is that someone gets something positive from this and if you're crying it's tears of joy! I also want to extend my condolences to Alexis and Bri their mother Dena passed away and she asked me to be their Godfather when they were born. I love them both and I'm proud of them and I haven't kept in touch like I should but 3000 miles isn't a excuse. Take care everyone and motivate and inspire someone it could be life-changing! #thrivewithzp #Zpstars #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #walmartradiosjs #walmartshares #SparkKindness #dougmcmillon (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEWPLu-A_fJ/?igshid=7k4n2o26at90

My heart has a lock without a key, and I'm hoping for you to come to me, make me whole I'm broken when we're apart, the weight of that lock on my heart , I feel incomplete without the love that is you, you're my kryptonite I'm helpless and don't know what to do, your pretty face and lovely smile, just sad because I haven't seen it in a while, you'll always be my lighthouse to guide my ship to shore, you've rescued me and so much more, so bring that key open up my heart, and I'll do my best to keep us from having to be apart.

Good afternoon! So now I've been to the prosthesis and got cast for my prototype! So hopefully I will get that back in the next week and adjustments made and they'll make my prosthetic! They told me I could get a design put on it and first thought Taz! But I thought about it and was talking to a fellow Zpsters and told her I wanted to put Zp on it. And this person means a lot to me because they're going through a lot as well and she said I was motivating and inspiring to them which meant the world to me. She said yeah! I want Zp strong as she suggested but I don't have that on fabric so I'm going with Zp Better Choices. I want to give acknowledgement to a program that has changed my life and I know it'll open up conversation with people and I always keep books with me so I can possibly change others lives. If it wasn't for me continually doing challenges I wouldn't have the mindset to get through losing my leg know that I can. To get through physical therapy and surprising those who thought it was going to be a struggle. Zp taught me to believe in myself. And this with everything else going on in the world. I'm going to keep on Zp and encourage and motivate others because I believe in what it stands for. As always motivate and inspire someone today it could be life-changing! I know 61 challenges in and the 61st is as exciting as the first! #thrivewithzp #Zpstars #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #dougmcmillon #walmartradiosjs #SparkKindness #zpster (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjkFzOAXx4/?igshid=7cj3glf7fkmr

Still continuing on journey I had the cast made for my prosthetic! Hopefully in the next week the prototype will be done so final measurements can be made for the finished one. So I continue holding my stump up to be able to support me with the prosthesis. But I got this! I love Zp family challenge to me it's the perfect time to make "footprints". When I was growing up I didn't have many of those memories so when I went back to school I didn't have many to share. So I used to take my Godkids and nieces and nephews to do things, even if it only was a park. It's always good to get away from home and spending time with them. It's awesome when they remind me of things we did when they were kids and they now have their own kids and doing that with them! I wondered if I was a good influence and this shows me I helped shape who they've become.So as always motivate and inspire someone it could be life-changing! #thrivewithzp #walmartradiodjs#dougmcmllon (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDejhUUAFYa/?igshid=6z0optqc20pt
