Curating a particular range of vibes.

My mom’s brothers and their families came into town for her birthday. As a kid, my sister and I were the only grandkids in the family for 10 years, so I hung out with these adults quite a bit, but not really their kids.
Other than briefly at a wedding last year, I haven’t seen these people since I left for college.
I moved away, then they moved away, and life gets in the way.
Turns out, they are really, really cool. The kind of people that are supremely easy to hang out with for hours.
Thankful.

I’m speaking to a college class today and I was thinking about a few beats to hit on. Kept coming back to the idea that of all the people I know, the ones who have had the best careers are the ones that went after something, not being content with the tools, work, standards, or direction given to them.
Then this screenshot pops up as I’m looking for something else.

Anytime "something big is happening", it's easier to see the inevitability of predictions than their plausibility.
There's still a lot of future to create.

One of my more mundane internal conflicts is that while I snowboard (and have since I was 13), I enjoy watching skiing much, much more.

Like papi, I've had minor frustrations with small aspects of what I need to do lately. Incidentally, in this same window, each of my kids have had to work through something similar.
My frequent comment to them is along the lines of, "sometimes you've got to do the things you don't want to do in order to do more of the things you want to do."
Then this Cam Ward clip hit my feed today and hit me in the gut.
A friend told me years ago that "purpose at work is something you build, not something you find."
I have a great job working on great projects with great people (in somewhat normal hours). This work allows me to do more of what I want to do. My house is healthy.
Perspective.

Every time we come home from my daughter’s gymnastics class, we take the long way and roll down the windows.
She gets such joy out of that. (Which means I get joy out of it.)

Of those immediate family members mentioned, my dad is the only one who passed away. We’re beyond grateful for the recovery that the others have made!
A positive note: My son was diagnosed at 8 months, had two very close calls in his two-year treatment, and this is what he was doing this weekend:
