More than once this week, I’ve had occasion to share with someone what I believe is the starkest delineation between child problems and adult problems. Frequently, children can see the right thing to do, but struggle with doing it. With adult problems, it’s seeing the right thing in the first place that’s often the challenge.
About a month ago, I had to make a decision. It was hazy, with no way to gather more meaningful data. Just had to make a call and go with it. I won’t know if it was the right call for several months; maybe a year or longer. It still feels right, I think. I’m encouraged by that. So, one door closed today. Another opens Monday.
You ever have a situation where you don’t even realize how much tension you’re carrying until you release it? There you go. Wow, I’m wiped.
Have a good weekend.

That was a pretty heavy hand on you, bro. Take it from a guy who almost never changes or moves…and then had to do a lot of both, mixing it up is good, healthy, and right. You’re not out there to please “them,” but to thrive for “you and yours”. Have fun. Looking forward to more stories.
Thanks. I hear you about mixing it up, and I think it’ll be fine. I think it’s just the stress of relinquishing a known good situation, you know?
