So, through adversity comes hope… as the saying goes. Recently, my wife and I have experienced a tragedy. I don’t want to make too big of a deal about it, but it was a significantly less than pleasant experience. It made me think of the purpose of this blog. I’m not sure I would have handled the event the same way last year. Small differences in attitude, not just action can make a big difference. I’m not saying that I’ve made big changes this year, but through the act of thinking about how to become a better husband/father, I seem to have put into place attitudes that have improved me as a husband/father. I think this is very Zen, but to be honest, I’ve been so busy “doing it” that I haven’t had much time to think of “it”.
FYI: I’m going to post my Yellow sash paper (Titled: “I am the Fat Kid”) because a guy I very much respect at my dojo asked to read it. In the name of being thorough, I’ll also put my second yellow paper up tomorrow.
