I didn't have a very good day yesterday and I wrote a decent post on it for today. But I am not going to post it. You don't deserve to read about bad days from me.
Instead I want to talk about a guy who thought he had it all together a few years ago and came to the epiphany that leaner and faster was better than big and bulky. He lost 40 pounds before becoming a happy triathlete. A guy who wanted three kids and realized his passion and capacity was just raising one really good one. I see a guy every day who loves his wife more than he can communicate and realizes that loving looks and compliments are enough but really not. This same guy can't cook past pasta but loves to show his family he can start a fire in the backyard without matches. A guy with no memory of his youth but enough wisdom to live it through his own wonder every day with the help of his 4 year old son.
Happy Birthday to that guy.
