Day 3,251

Growth:

Be yourself, not someone else. Try on different versions of yourself in order to find what fits best and be okay with quickly shedding whatever doesn’t fit. Life is too short to be wasted on living into someone else’s dreams or our perceptions of what the dreams of others may be of us. We’re all uniquely ourselves, live into that uniqueness and see it fit the beauty it is.

Appreciation:

The older I get the more moments I realize I am so similar to my parents. From reliving similar events to using certain phrases to reacting in a certain way to virtually anything there are traces of my parents. They’ve indelibly left their finger prints upon me and have crafted so much of who I am. For sure, I’m my own person and have been shaped by so many, but the two of them on such a different level.

As I passed through many of those moments today I couldn’t help but pause and be so grateful for the awesomely positive impact my parents have had on my life.

Presence:

My rides to and from dropping Dominic off at his new apartment for college were full of engaging conversation. Life is full of potential distractions, driving helps to eliminate most all of them. Super grateful for the presence attained through driving today, it enriched my conversations!

Thanks!!!
