Note from Loveletterist:

Yesterday I thoroughly enjoyed a family outing to a local lake without my paddle.

In myself I observed solid trust of a kid who has been building his boating skills -- piece by piece -- step by step -- trials, errors, successes -- over the course of many years.

What fun! To see my growth entwined with another.

I’m on Tal’s team. A thrill seeker? Quite certain - when the fair set up each fall (while in my 50’s) I looked for the rides where everyone was screaming! Accompanying friends had no interest...

Somehow I remember an exchange that included the LUND brand of bass boats. The single Mercury engine made me smile. In this age of “more is more” it’s not uncommon to see a bass boat sporting twin Yamaha 150’s around here. 🤷🏽

Nia’s metaphor about “the quality of the build determines how far - and how fast - we go” surely applied to yesterday’s outing. And seemed to embrace other figurative “builds.” 3MM being just one example. Or the lives we strive for in our growth?

Always a lover of metaphors. 😁
