I use to play chess with my dad all the time. Then I had a friend that was a boy and learned a life lesson from my father. After playing a few games with my friend and winning, I started losing to make him feel better. I went inside to get more lemonade when my father said, ‘Just because he’s losing doesn’t mean you need to play, ‘I’m weak and you’re a big strong man,’ card. He’s losing because he doesn’t know how to strategize. Don’t enable his ego. Win so he can learn from his mistakes.’
Random Word: Strategy
Your dad sounds like a wonderful smart man.

He was but what I learned most from was honesty. I tell people, ‘He may have done bad things but he wasn’t a bad man.’ But those are some things that are for another story another time.

You must be one of the prolific bloggers I follow, all of it I’ve read is really good. Well done but where on earth do you get the time to do it? You must be super human!! Keep it up!

No not super human although I think I would look awesome with a blue iridescent cape 🙂 It consists of me prioritizing a lot, being slow at my day job, and helpful support from my family 🙂 Thank you so much for reading.

I thought so, I also tell my girls the same thing. Some advice just needs to be past down from generation to generation. 🙂

So true! Keep sharing the good! I try to keep from passing down the bad things but sometimes it creeps up….Like I have this thing about my daughter using paper towels. And if she uses two well watch out! 😂 I’ve told her I know it’s silly but I grew up that way and the feeling of frustration I feel when I hear the rip of the paper towel is tangible. It’s really weird. I’m working on it. 😂😂

Not weird…ok well not to me, I have a thing about the toilet paper rolls. Instead of finishing what’s left on the role they grab another and set it on the counter. I’m working on it too 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only mom with paper product issues 🙂
