Dear Son, one mailbox a day can be challenging

Orlando Holy Family Church
Yesterday, Sunday, 8:30am

 

One mailbox a day can be challenging. Why? Because it’s not part of our routine. Not a habit. Not yet. So we missed it in the morning. We forgot before dinner. We forgot after dinner too. This is why habits – good or bad – control our destiny.

Perception outweighs reality

Yesterday morning, a spontaneous photo – a metaphor on so many levels.

 

The High School Math teacher asked how i stay so fit. The French teacher said, “I see you running everyday.”

Truth be told, i run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

To stay fit (since 1999) i run, walk, go to the gym, stretch, sleep decently, and make (mostly) good food choices for quality and quantity, and i find a million ways to stay motivated.

The last one, i forgot to mention to them.

Weekends were made for Michelob

weekend bicycling
Yesterday, a Saturday, at school.

 

Weekends were made for Michelob. A 1977 commercial and it’s tag line made me think about a similar tag line:

Weekends were made for bicycling.

We have been bicycling regularly (though nothing major) throughout the summer. But with the advent of High School, the only time available is on the weekends.

It’s too hot after the sun comes up. And after school is iffy because of common Florida thunderstorms.

So the freshman gets up early on the weekends.
