What's Going Well
When things get a little tense at home, I know that I can wait a couple days and my wife/kids will forgive me. In fact, they do an excellent job of forgiving me each morning when they wake up.
For me, forgiveness is one of the best lessons from little kids.
I've been carrying the past into the present with my daughter. Monday's blog is a good example.
My life experience is created by where I focus. It's July and I continue to focus outside elite sport. Too many lies, and secret lives, for me to enjoy the present.
To balance the past at home, I went for an easy run and thought about everything that's going right with my daughter:
She helps others experience love She has a ton of energy She tries new things She makes me laugh She can swim all four strokes She can stay in my bike trailer for four hours She travels well She's polite to all my friends and family She's non violent She rides a bike She eats healthy and almost everything She's healthy She's intelligent She's kind to other people She's outgoing
I'm at a park listening to a Dad scream at his little girl and swear at his son as I write this. We're getting a lot right at home.
So much to be grateful for.
