how you react impacts the final outcome

We got to test our ability to choose how we react to inconvenient circumstances this morning; I’ll share more in tomorrow’s Note because I want to see how the remainder of our travels go today. Let’s just say we SHOULD be halfway to Jamaica as I write this, but we’re still at the Baltimore airport. We get to leave in a couple of hours and will have a little less time on the beach today, but we’ll still be there for our trip and we’re all together. Our reaction impacted our outcome—things could have continued to work against us if we chose to react differently. You can’t control everything that happens to you–but you can always control how you react. Sometimes, your reaction may not be positive, and that’s ok because you can always change your reaction and find a positive perspective that will help turn things around and in your favor quicker. I’ll share the details of today’s travels, including my initial stress-filled reaction, which was a little out of character in tomorrow’s Note. JC |

Optimism doesn’t mean ignoring the injustices in the world. Optimism doesn’t mean that you don’t get upset or sad at times....

I hope you had a great couple of weeks! Last week, I was in Sarasota with Roman, four of his friends, and their fathers for a father-son spring break. It was a great time, despite not spending as much time as I would have liked writing. Going down, I anticipated taking the boys to Siesta Key, dropping them off at the beach, and posting up at a coffee shop and doing a lot of writing and creating. That plan changed when we rented e-bikes for the boys, but that was ok. I got to spend some...
