If there’s a ball close by,
There’s a good chance we’re battling for it.
Before bed, brushing teeth.
Leaving the house, putting shoes on.
Fighting for control…
…and the ultimate reward — a nutmeg
…and perhaps a short-lived celebratory smile
…until we’re back at it.
These everyday interactions continue to snowball in my mind.
How small they seem at the time.
How big they really are.
There’s a shelf life in all this.
Cold winter nights...
Brotherly love...
2023...
2023
Who knows what's ahead?
If the last few years have taught us anything...it's to expect the unexpected.
I plan to keep it simple.
We're all on broadcast.
We all want to be heard.
We all hope to be of value.
I plan to listen (and engage) more...
...with whomever I'm lucky enough to have in front of me at the time
...with my heart (first and foremost)
Wherever you are, whatever you celebrate...I'm hopeful you're surrounded by those who matter most...
Our everydays are everything.
Off to school...
Off to school.
Another day closer to winter break.
Another day of him wondering why I'm taking photos.
Another day of me appreciating the everyday.
Throwing out my anchor.
Taking the foot off the accelerator.
Staying here awhile.
Looking.
Listening.
Marinating.
Letting it all in.
Letting it all hit home.
