What’s your Mountain Top?

I asked the HIM’s the night before to ponder this question before making the post.  What do you strive to excel at in life? Career, family, faith?  No wrong answers.

All the men stated that they wanted to be better at some variation of being a family man and putting forth a good example for their M’s and 2.0’s.

These are virtuous, selfless goals.

I told the HIM’s that my mountain top is to see that my children grow up to be successful in whatever avenues that they choose in life.  I also told them that I feel that I will never reach this mountain top and that I will continue climbing this mountain until the day I die…and I’m good with that.

I expounded that as a single father, I model myself after my own mother who was a single parent.  I say that because I am 44 years old and she still has not stopped being there for me.  A woman in her late 70’s.

As a single parent I make my decisions based on how it affects my children.  How it betters them.  The people I am around and the life that I live are all directly affected on how I feel it will affect the upbringing of my son and daughter.

I stated to the HIM’s that I feel that if I will never reach the mountain top that I have chosen for myself, because I will always be adding new goals and expectations to that mountain.  I suggested to the HIM’s that if they are doing it right, they will never reach their mountain top either.

And that’s exactly the way it should be.

 

We took a moment of silence for the Wijangco family who lost their 14 year old son, Max, to suicide on March 10th.  Max was a son, a brother and a friend and he will never be replaced.

We closed with an Our Father.

Coupon Carries all day.  We didn’t exercise with the coupons once.  They were there strictly to add weight as we ran around the AO.  You’re welcome.  You can thank Clear Coat for talking me out of Coupon Carries for the hill repeats…pesky site Q and the time limit BS.

It was fun to see the reaction after running over Mt. Citadel with the coupons only for them to see another Thang set up.

All in all, it was a good day.  The guys busted their butts and got at it.
