Day 2,898

Growth:

I learned a new term today, Sisu.

From Wikipedia: Sisu is a Finnish concept described as stoicdetermination, tenacity of purpose, grit, bravery, resilience,^[1] and hardiness.^[2] It is held by Finns to express their national character. It is generally considered not to have a literal equivalent in English (tenacity, grit, resilience, and hardiness are much the same things, but do not necessarily imply stoicism or bravery).

Appreciation:

So much good stuff all day long! Laughs. Time as a family. Sharing memories. Knocking out a round of mini golf. Cooking for others. Playing games. Relaxing. Watching a movie with Gavin. What a positively wonderful day!

Presence:

Touching a ship which was present in the heat of WWII was wildly surreal. At one point I laid my palm across the metal railing and paused to think of all who’d touched that same spot and what they were facing in those moments. History made reality.

Thanks!!!
