Hey happy birthday buddy! I hope you can find a few moments of your day to treat yourself to something nice.
Dinner out tonight???
Great work with the race, not much of a.pure runner myself, but i know the hard work that goes in and respect that very much. <high five>
The kids thing...i am glad that you can recognize there is toxic behavior between you and kids. Keep grinding through that. Keep a focus on teaching them, spending quality time with them, loving them and showing them What it is to be a man really is.
Without too many specifics. I remeber a time when i was just angry all the time ...i used to blow up at them for little $hit. I actually say them down and spoke to them about MY behavior and have since corrected that. Recognizing your behavior is key to being able to fix it.
I think you are doing an absolutely magnificent job with everything on your plate. No need to worry about what the future may ho2kd, because we just dont have a clue what it can be. Keep going like you are...setting goals, Making improvements, doing those things you want, keeping that compassion up...this is DB at its finest!!!!!!!
