Colonial Williamsburg
We made it to our vacation destination! This place is amazing! We went on a haunted tour tonight, which was fantastic. Tomorrow we are doing a program called Women in the Trades and Boy #2 is shooting a musket. He doesn’t know yet, though. I am so excited for him to find out tomorrow afternoon.…

Rolling with the Punches
The only thing constant in life is change. Everything changes eventually. Seasons, people, jobs, weather, sports teams, politics, fashion trends, even what sports count as Olympic sports. So why do we all hate change so much, even though we experience it at some level every day? I wish I knew. All I do know is…

Hard conversation…wrapped up
I had that conversation this morning and it went…surprisingly well. I wasn’t nervous at all, even while we were talking. I was able to say pretty much everything on my list, some of it casually and other things directly. It was all taken well and I think things will go ok. What I was most…

Daily Prompt 3/5/23
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dear Self, I bet you never thought you could live this long, did you? How do you feel? Is getting old as bad as Grandma said it would be? Haha, I wish we could’ve done this the other way around, with you telling me what to do and…

Daily Prompt 3/3/23
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? There’s so many experiences that have helped me grow, but I would say the three biggest experiences are joining the Air Force, having a mental breakdown in 2015, and falling in love with my wife. Joining the Air Force in 2000 would change the next 20+…

This isn’t anything new…
So I read this article that came before this one, with the first one talking about the fact that teen girls are struggling with anxiety and depression. The second one talks about theories adults have as to why this is so. I have some news here. 1. Social media isn’t the sole issue causing depression…

Priorities
There are possible developments on the the horizon that may challenge me. I guess that’s true of anyone, at any given time though. I have struggled in the past with prioritizing things properly. Like always putting myself last or putting work before my family at the wrong times. It feels like I’m looking at another…
