Daughter: Have you asked her to be your Valentine?

Me: No. She’s already my valentine.

Daughter: You still have to ask her!

Me: WTAF? Really. When did this become a thing?

Daughter: Since, forever.

Me: Fine.

You know you’re old when lying down is fun. I’m happy AF.

“Your entire life happens inside your body.
It’s the one home you will always occupy and can never sell…
Everything is downstream from how your body is functioning.” @jamesclear
This quote shook me.
It refocused me to take care of my mental and physical wellbeing.
One body. One mind. That’s all we get.
 

When I was just getting started…
I felt that if I had more information and training- I would be successful.
Now here we all are. Drowning in information. Lacking execution.
Afraid to fail so we look for more information to distract us.
 

13 years since I walked away…
from my dependable job with benefits and reliability. Still standing and thriving.
Don’t be fooled by the hype. It’s not easy.
It’s not recommended for the faint of heart. But I had to bet on myself and went all in.
Plus I don’t have a heart.
 

Something my daughters taught me:
I learned I was pretty.
 

“A fit body, a calm mind,
a house full of love. These things cannot be bought- they must be earned.” @naval
Find happiness the old fashioned way… earn it.
 

I wish I could remember the last time…
they ran into my arms & then I tossed them in the air.
The glee & laughter would set the tone for the ride home.
They’d tell me about their week and all the new friends they made.
Then they’d ask about our plans for the weekend and what adventures we were going on.
I wish I could remember. #fatheringfromadistance
 

Last year I met a lot of people
and made new friends.
I couldn’t help but wonder how I did it.
Ps
Yes. I still draw a sun in the corner of my art. Sometimes.
 

This year.
Let’s all make this year special. 1% better every day.
Compound that growth.
