Day 5: Shaping Discipline
This morning did not go as planned – my body needed more rest. So I let myself sleep in, then I got up and got my son ready while my wife got ready for work. This morning has been a simple exercise in pushing forward while accepting previous choices. I couldn’t make myself take a…
