Thank you for your kind comment and well wishes-I really appreciate it. Apologies if I keep going on about this in my videos, but it’s such a huge and momentous life event for me. I’m grateful you took the time to listen and share your thoughts. It means a lot to me. Wishing you all the best! 🌸
A simple life like that sure sounds good. I just had a child, and am experiencing sleep problems like you used to, and this comment is definitely something to meditate on. Not regrets of course, but just thinking what would life be like otherwise, and how to best cope with giving a good life to the family and myself! In my situation, my way seems very perfectionist and all-or-nothing, so I wonder if I just spent a life of the mind, my brain would find a way to muck it up anyway 😅Thought provoking nonetheless. Glad the fitness is going well.
Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment. It's interesting to hear your perspective from that early stage of raising children. I must admit, I didn’t give much thought to these things back then; those thoughts only came later. I simply struggled at the time. Perhaps you'll fare better, having already started to reflect on these matters. Like you, I have my concerns-or maybe doubts is the better word-about the so-called "life of the mind." I know how easily it could lead me into a dark place of selfish introspection. My family certainly helped keep me from that, though that’s not their purpose, of course. It was just a fortunate side effect that I found a sense of selflessness through trying to be a good parent. I wish you all the best in your journey. You've been with me for a long time, and I really appreciate your support. It's always a pleasure to see your comments, and congratulations on your new parenthood. Wishing you the best!
@@softypapa "a dark place of selfish introspection" is exactly what I was getting at. To be honest, I may not have even considered it were it not for videos like this. So, thank you, too!
74 days left of work most feel great knowing your done and can live free Kurt. Hope you and the family are well.
