Earlier this week, standing with my 11-year-old son out front of the house one morning before school. We were standing by my 23 year old Toyota Echo: what o call the little blue car.

One of the car window rubber liners had started to come apart; understandable, after more than two decades.

My son proceeded to peel that part off, running it all the way along the bottom of the window.

And this was another moment of acceptance. Don’t get mad. Deal with the immediate; and maybe make a micro lesson of it soon into future.

This experience is a lot of how parenting has gone for me. Be true; be thoughtful; don’t overreact; and where possible, try to create some lasting good.

GOOD.
