Where does time go? It flies by for me.
Saturday I went for a bike ride with friends in which we started in Leatham Hollow and ended coming out of Providence Canyon. It was a fun and epic ride. I got home and it was Adams birthday. He's such a comfortable soul who wants to do things to please me and Mom. I love him for it.
The rest of the week was spent doing work and feeling perpetually behind on everything. I feel like I'm good at what I do but I'm lousy at delegating and as a result I'm always behind and running crazy. Then when I delegate, things don't get done well. Again, a further indictment on my character.
This weekend is the Winkel family reunion. I like the reunions but I hate preparing for the talent show. In past years we haven't done any talents to speak of. This year Mom has been at us for some time now so we're going to try doing a synchronized swimming skit. We'll let you know how that works for us.
Thought for the week -
Honesty is a complex topic for almost everyone I've ever met and I'm trying to master being honest in this life. Every day there are situations that arise where it's easier to be politic than be totally honest. Compound the desire to please people on top of that and you have a situation that I find myself in almost every day.
Are there easy answers? Not for me.
One key is to place more value on moving forward with life without mental and emotional barriers. If I can learn to do that and simply and candidly be straightforward and honest, I think life will treat me better in the long-run. It's a journey. Stay tuned...
I love you both,
Dad
