Pause here to catch your breath, weary traveler.

I remember my dad when he was my age. From the view of a 9yr old he was strong, had all the answers, and nothing could stop him.

As I reflect on myself at this age I feel like I could fit that bill. My kids world is still the family unit. Their friends while important don't rule their conscious moments and my kids are still free from a world where hate or manipulation could occur. I cherish these days of hugs and great wondering pondering.

I can't hold on to this, no more than my father did. So this is my season and there is much haste for the hay I wish to make. I feel the hope that so many have lost. Every one of you here drinks from that fountain of peace I hope it fills you and you find your season.

So the lesson here is to become the hero your 9-yr old thinks you are… right? 🙂

I like to think that we all can strive to be that hero, but try as we may it can't last and we must move that benchmark so as to be the hero we need to be for ourselves

Savor every second, brother.

Teenagers (particularly sons) make you understand why your father was the way you remember him in high school. It also reconciles you to ‘turning into him’ - I must hear myself repeating one of his sayings or quips, weekly (he is still alive, thank God, so he’ll remind me if I get one wrong 😂).

I have similar feelings.

They grow up way too fast.

This hits for me. My kids are close in age and I'm striving for the same thing. These are the best days as I watch my kids continuously grow and are becoming their future adult selves. We are trying to give them a very strong foundation and history they can look back on for great memories and a basis for raising their own. This has been the most gratifying part of my life so far

I pray and wish you the best with continuing with yours. We never know how long we get. I want to make sure my time is impactful with my kids and their memories.

You and your family have a blessed day

I feel the hope, as I see my legacy grow, as you do see with yours.

Beautiful words.

Starting my crypto trading journey has been an incredible experience, especially with the guidance of my manager’s new trading plan. The financial progress I’ve made is beyond what I expected earning $150,000 is a great milestone for someone new to this space. The support from the company has been outstanding.
