@lilyraynyc @lilyraynyc ca you explain what “excessive comparison pages” mean? It a little unclear in the article. If there’s say 10 brands, would creating all possible brand vs brand permutations (AvB, AvC, AvD, etc) be excessive? If so, why? Thanks!

Seeing her in her bravest moment, facing her own worst nightmare, is something I will always cherish. Not the hardship, but the vision of how strong she is.

Last Tuesday was one of the hardest days I’ve ever faced, maybe the hardest, where instead of protecting my crying wife trembling with fear - I sent her back into her hell because there were no better options.

[Edwin Plotts @EdPlotts]

I am grateful, however, to have witnessed her dig deep inside and face fear head-on. I will always remember standing outside the fort with her. She was near bursting with emotion, flushed, teary, biting her lip, clenching her fists. Then she mustered her courage to walk back in.

@Tomek_Duda Haha, yes I’m trying. Trying to write more (putting it on Twitter is just a “let’s see what happens”).

Hope you’re well, Tomek!

How many more times will I realistically get to speak to my grandfather? How much is enough?

My brother said he read somewhere that “the average person only sees their parents like 40 times after the age of 30.”

@hammer_mt Oh wow. It’s exactly what’s been on my mind after reading “4000 Weeks” (highly recommend by the way, it really ignited in me a determination to focus on the most important thing… even if that means just enjoying a moment of nothing): https://t.co/A9RZkXaU30

PS - miss ya bud 🍻

The man is in his eighties and still racing sailboats all the time, and golfing all the time, and dancing all the time, and fixing things on roofs or wherever - all the time.

I’m going to call him today.

[Edwin Plotts @EdPlotts]

He has a wealth of experience in business, real estate, investing, sailing, general contracting/construction, staying active, dancing…

In each moment, each day, each week, I just need to focus on the most important thing.

If she can hold her mind together and push through the tortures of BCT in the dead of winter to give us a better life, then I can hold my mind together and do what needs to be done on my side to give us a better life.

It’s hard to focus when the back of my mind is fixated on Sara. So I keep saying - asking myself, reminding myself - “What’s the most important thing?”

What’s the most important thing.

What’s the most important thing.

What’s the most important thing.

It’s 33 degrees Fahrenheit in Savannah, GA this morning and 29 degrees at Fort Jackson, SC - and I know she’s been awake and outside in the dark since 4:30 am.

I know she can do it. I also know it is the hardest thing she has ever had to overcome.

This has been my desperate mantra this morning, in hopes that it will help me snap out of this dazed longing, guilt, and worry I have from dropping Sara off at #Army Basic Combat Training (#BCT).
