Good day of moving forward in life. I’m thinking more and more about the things I can change and the things I cannot. I am also thinking about my responsibilities, both as a parent and a person. Namely, I have been thinking about who I need to be as an individual and what that means in terms of how I treat the people around me. I wrote previously about that tide of negativity swelling around the youngest and how I feel like he got swept up in it and decided one parent needed to be protected and the other was the enemy. He’s reached a point in his existence where he really doesn’t like me very much. That’s a harder pill to swallow.
I’ve reached a point in mine where I can’t chase. All I can do is be the best me and show him that steady person.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “South Dakota incumbent Republican lawmaker facing felony election fraud counts” No, but for real though. Why is it always GOP dudes getting busted for this stuff and then GOP dudes saying its the other party always doing it? It’s weird.
- The youngest verbally committed to Oregon State today. Not the one I expected, but one I respect. The hype train is rolling and excitement is building around the kid. I’m happy for him, I truly am. He worked hard to get where he is. I hope he goes far from there.
