Fill In The

After taking a few days off, I thought I might have something built up to write about.

Be raring to go.

But here I am, staring at this dang blinking cursor.

As a dad.

As a husband.

I seek certain things for my family.

A good life.

Not an easy life.

A good life.

A good, long, healthy, asymmetric, blessed life.

And that's the part that's hard.

Maybe I default to easy too much.

Because you have to, to some degree, allow the not-so-good times to come.

It's part of equation.

And so I've become a doorman of sorts.

Letting some things in that I would normally not, just because it is part of the learning and growing from experience.

Growing pains.

True wisdom is knowing what to let in, and what to keep out.

So what are the not good things we let in?

...

...

...

I think everyone has the right to decide how they lead their families.

So I'll leave my ways out.

But I will say this:

Everything good has a component of the opposite, err, opposing it.

And what needs to stay out?

This, too, you have to decide.

...

...

...

Think permanent. Uneraseable. Unforgivable. You know, the big uns.

[Looks at you, with furrowed brow:]

Got ID?
