Picking Up The Baton

That was the theme of the mens only segment of the retreat. Basically, we all fuck up, but we need to keep moving forward. If you’re in a relay race and you drop the baton, you need to pick it up and keep running.

I don’t often make the same mistakes, but there are some bad habits that I find hard to break, so I can understand why people repeat there errors. But knowing that I will make mistakes isn’t an excuse to not try and stop making the same ones. That’s the difference. One is accepting defeat, the other acknowledges its possibility, but strives to prevent it. So pick up the baton. I am today. ATEN!!!

Your birthday month. Don’t be sad. Every day is a celebration. It’s an opportunity to enjoy, pay thanks, and strive to do better. Hear that inspiration? I’m trying to get into that mentality, but it’s also true. I’ll start dieting after tomorrow (have to have lunch with Jehan and I already bought coffee). I finished the waffle and cream puff for you as well. You’re welcome.

I don’t know why people still insist on the rehearsal dinner and the ceremony in general. They all seem so stressed out over it. Seems dumb to volunteer and do things that stress you out. I’m sorry to run up their tab, but I’m sure they would have ran up mine and they don’t mind. At least it’s probably cheaper than alcohol…

See, you can do it and want to. Just remember that feeling. Anyhow, we should probably find a better way to pack early. Not be like Tony. I started having 2 sets of toiletry items to make it a lot easier… Otherwise it’s stressful for you. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We can do it. Safe travels tomorrow Em. ATEN!!
