Day 14: Blocked to trigger Perspective

My obligatory eclipse picture that proves I was paying attention. Sarcasm aside my inner science geek was having a field day yesterday during this extraordinary once in a lifetime event.

Sometimes all we need is a trigger. The small, yet immeasurable in strength push, to move us to action. Some have an inner motivation and fire serving as their auto trigger. Others need a traumatic emotional event. There are even those who seemingly never find their trigger…I found yesterday to be a self-discovery of triggers for many. Incredible that the act of something we see on a daily basis being blocked would serve as the trigger. Perhaps we had a brief moment of vulnerability, realizing that even an object with the intensity of the sun can be blocked. Realizing that in certain cases, the only variable needed is timing — which we find often to be out of our control. I loved the eclipse for the perspective I saw people gain. Now to see who acts upon this new found opportunity and gift.


Lil Brother had his first day of 5th grade!!

This last part of today’s post isn’t going to be reflective or philosophical, I’ll save that for tomorrow. I really wanted to plug in my little brother and some new found perspective he gave me yesterday.

I will definitely be the dad who cries on the first day of school. Oh yes, this was confirmed yesterday. Taking my lil dude to school yesterday and feeling a rush of emotions that were more than likely irrational at the time, as I’m dropping him off, came so unexpectedly to me. Incredible respect for all the parents out there! Lil brother also taught me yesterday that sometimes you have no idea how profound of an effect someone or something has on you until they either leave your sight or are blocked. Wise kid he is, wonder where he’s learning it from…? Must be the bottom of a cereal box or something…(wink wink).
