Building off of what I’ve been thinking about this week, I think I am at that point where something has to give. I cannot stay in this state forever. At the start of life you’re given a certain level of opportunity. Most of us work our tales off to get to a better spot. Then most of us stop. I stopped. I stayed in that place treading water and eventually wore myself down and started to sink. I’m older and wiser and better at a lot of things in my life and I just need to get focused and determined in a way that has not been realistic in decades.
Sounds easy enough, right?
Some Thoughts:
- Big shout out to my friend and co-writer Robyn for her Scribe Award nomination. She’s gone far past the level I’m at and I couldn’t be more proud–and maybe a bit jealous too. I want to be up there very soon with my own novel.
- Was in the tunnel the other day for the Rattlers game and I was instantly reminded of how small the team is–not in stature but in number. This is a tiny roster of dudes who have fought their way to greatness again and again. There are lessons to be learned there.
