A prayer for overflowing fortitude

Inspiring quote about perspective
The guy in front of me at a race viewing point.

 

A prayer for overflowing fortitude – courage in adversity – as a developing adult, and as parents of developing adults.

Have fun and try to comprehend the many blessings

High School Cross Country practice
Early mornings, like 6:40am yesterday, are the best time.

 

Yesterday morning’s practice was easy and short in preparation for today’s exhibition meet. Have fun and try to comprehend the many blessings that have led you to this moment. The list is long yet invisible if you don’t consciously focus on it.

Your opportunity to serve is right in front of you

High school orientation
Yesterday during High School Social time. One of those students is brand new to the school.

 

Your opportunity to serve is right in front of you. It’s called High School. Can’t wait to see how you embrace this. Not sure you’re even aware of the opportunity at your feet.

His personal responsibility became official greater yesterday

Hidden Trail overlook
Two years (age 14) ago he made it to the “summit” of Hidden Lake overlook.

 

His personal responsibility became official greater yesterday.

Why?

He turned 16.

While it’s just a number, it’s also a right of passage. Sixteen is a mental milestone on the way to the next major milestone, turning 18.

Some things are so obvious, we discount them as being trivial because it’s so common.
