COT


I have read a lot this year about the importance of fruitful labor, this week I read & was challenged by the below lines from
Man in the Mirror by Patrick Morley:

“No area of a man’s life has more potential for improvement than his relationships. Most men, in pursuit of the good life, leave a trail of broken relationships… No amount of success at work will ever be adequate to compensate for failure at home. We each need to do a gut check. Do my wife and children know that I am for them by the way I spend my time.”

I have been focused on work a lot lately. It is a good thing to care about your work, I just felt challenged, and wanted to share the challenge to make sure you don’t neglect the things that are most important.


Moleskin

Burrito was there; his shorts were not.

The strollers were a big hit, but will NEVER be repeated. YHC did not leave them for FiA tomorrow morning. Had to return them before M noticed.

The stations created a great opportunity for MC and awkward but intense eye contact. These opportunities were not missed.
