Father’s Day 2024

June 16, 2024, Sunday morning, 9:52am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point,California, USA, Father’s Day. Went and picked up the dog for a walk this morning. Afterwards, we got coffee and a pup cup from Peet’s. I dropped her back off then went to the gym and worked out on my way back to Dana Point. Now I am doing laundry before we go to the PF Changs in the Mission Viejo mall at 2pm. It has been a great morning. I have been thinking about being a chaplain in Utah and the apartment we had in Layton. It was 21 years ago yesterday I moved in with the dog before my wife joined us in September. I loved that time. I was able to compartmentalize work and free time. Everything felt magical. Evoking that memory fills me with joy. I keep thinking this is the best time of my life. I am playing with house money as it were. I have a good job, I have been at it a while and when it ends I can be thankful for what I experienced. I am going to move through moments carefree from now on. Of course that is easier said than done. Regardless. I will enjoy this summer and not worry about anything beyond.
