Circle of Trust

The original Dr. Suess’s The Grinch who Stole Christmas TV special was aired for the first time on this day. Made me think of one of my favorite lines authored by Dr. Seuess:

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose”

Made me think back to how I handle myself in situations of adversity. As a parent, do I steer myself to yell or to teach? As a coworker do I steer myself to support or gossip? As a PAX do I steer myself to encourage or leave the six behind? The challenge is before us to be a better version of ourselves. We have the brains and the feet to do it, but it is our choice to steer in the right direction.

Prayers for Wet Wipe’s father in law, Fake ID’s wife, Marla Hooch’s son and Brooks’ mom

Said Prayer of St. Francis.

Naked Man Moleskin

Thanks for all HIMs who joined. Special shoutout to Mugsy for the superior diver during steal-the bacon…it brings a smile to my face every time I replay it in my head. Nicely done!
