Last year, my wife was driving us around in her hometown. The kids fell asleep and we just chatted. I got reminded of the impulse that prompted me to marry her in the first place.

My son is kind and thoughtful towards others. My daughter finds joy in everything, and her laughter is infectious.

Just last Saturday, I managed to go out on a Saturday evening to watch a concert with my high school friend. I can count with two hands the number of occasions I have had a night off since parenthood. So that night was rare and precious! I’m sure my vibes will take on greater positivity once I get to restore my equilibrium.
