Day 3,708

Growth:

Taking time to just sit still, and be in thought. Not working on anything, not pushing towards anything, but just taking time to think and exist. So needed, yet so easy to not do, to push right past, to stay busy. Remember to take that time to ourselves, to pause, reflect, and just be. So looking forward to doing just that more tomorrow!

Appreciation:

It is often easy to forget just how much I learned about home improvement from Dad throughout all my years with him. This morning I went through a closet door repair. We’d never done that together, but so much of what I utilized while making that repair were skills learned through him in other projects. What made this extra clear for me today was when I had Gavin tag in to help me out and I could see the reversal of roles for me. In that moment I was sharing with Gavin what Dad shared with me so many years ago. As both Dominic and I have discussed before he’s noticed just how much those bonus projects skills have helped him out at school and in work. Those skills just keep getting passed through the generations from Dad, I’m sure he’s been smiling the entire time!

Presence:

An afternoon gaming with my sons, having a great time acting like the bunch of tabletop nerds we can be sometimes. So much joking, laughing, and time spent having fun – vey thankful for the bonus time together today! Hearing how excited they were for the game tomorrow was fantastic!

Thanks!!!
