When he does the math it doesn’t add up. He’s living without margin. This, coming from of all people, a high school math teacher.
It was a parent/teacher conference a week or so after the official date. i love that the teacher’s are flexible to do whatever it takes.
i had no academic issues to discuss so i went straight to the small talk and “where are you from” kinda stuff. His candor was delightfully tension reducing. Honest, open, vulnerable – trust’s main ingredients.
PS. We all struggle with finding margin in our lives. Margin is defined as breathing room in our day to day responsibilities. Case in point, i can’t remember the last time i got eight hours of sleep in a single night.

Facebook has really freaked me out this past year.
It’s unmanageable with the other commitments clamoring for attention in our lives; can’t keep up with all the activity. Does anyone else feel guilt, or struggle with this?
On Facebook, society at large presents their best foot forward, or their deepest grief. Do we try to keep up, daily, with hundreds of magic and tragic updates?
How often do active users have to look at their phones each day? And if it isn’t number of looks, then how much time is required, each day/week? And if we are just skimming, why? What’s the motive? To compare? To be rubberneckers on the highway of life?
What is this auto pilot reaction to “Like” so many things? i feel like i want to and that i should – it’s the friendly thing to do – but then i start wondering, “Do we post updates to see how many likes we can get, like some weird video game in pursuit of our high score?”
So yeah, pretty freaked out in 2015.

(This is the type of conversation i frequently constantly have with myself. And it’s this tough love that has helped me find the path less traveled.)
Midlife denial is heaven on Earth. We don’t have to think about the tough choices we should be making. This makes us feel better.
Coffee in the morning (and all day possibly). Alcohol in the evening.
Television, social media, food, work.
Medicated, entertained, and distracted.
Yeah, that ought to protect me us from making difficult decisions.
Denying something doesn’t make it go away.
