Thank you all for joining me in a time of great joy and suffering. Syitg.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: penalty box is where bad things happen and fouls get committed, intentional or unintentional… know where you are personally and in relationships. Is my attitude such that I can withstand the contact or am I likely to offend.

Yellow cards received prior to the semis are cancelled. Who do I need to forgive for committing a foul? Who needs a free pass, a second chance, new life? Am I forgiving of myself in a constructive way?

COT:
Spent a lot of time over the holiday thinking about what Bogey said last week. Set a goal going into a weekend with family to be more intentional, enjoying the time together and not focusing on the little annoyances. It is not something I always look forward to, so set the intention to take a step back and not get bogged down with every little difference or argument. It really makes a difference, and I’d recommend it for anybody else spending time with family this summer. I found myself more grateful for my parents and their relationship with my kids.
