Day 3,732

Growth:

Even after almost 500 days of survival in the most hospitable of environments the positivity of others can continue to raise others.

“Macty [McCarthy] is the most irrepressible optimist I’ve ever met. When I relieve him at the helm, boat iced & seas pouring down your neck he informs me with a happy grin ‘It’s a grand day sir,’ I was feeling a bit sour just before….”

– Worsley’s Journal, Endurance by Alfred Lansing

Appreciation:

Something I am very grateful for the is the ongoing harmony amongst the reading tastes of my sons and I. There have been many books we have referred back and forth to each other and almost all of which have been appreciated by the others. Having a couple of fellow readers helping me to find great books has been awesome, sharing books and concepts within has been even more fulfilling. Nothing like shared interests to help grow our bonds!

Presence:

My conversation with my brother this evening couldn’t have been more well timed for a variety of reasons. The topic of conversation hit close to home for both of us, was a topic we could both very much relate to, and was all the more fitting based on the goals I’ve been working on for myself for next year. So much more fun having a conversation we were both very interested in that we could grow together through!

Thanks!!!
