With My Own Eyes

Josh and Anna won some awards at the Nordhoff High School Spring Showcase last night. Josh: Spanish and Geography.  Anna: Spanish

I have to go with We Were Soldiers (2002).  It always seems to draw me in personally to what it must have been like to serve in battle while also being a husband and father.  Thank you veterans.

Last weekend was the program for Anna’s dance class at Nordhoff High School. Here are a few pics:  (Photos by Dean Zatkowsky)

Those who know me know that I struggle with anxiety.  I believe that at the root of anxiety is fear.  I started this read today and was confronted with these initial truths:

“Fear and worry run deep in us all.

Fear and worry have meaning.  They say something.

Fear and worry say that the world is dangerous.

Fear and worry reveal us.  They reveal the things that we love and value.”

Join me in wrestling with this question:  What does my fear and worry reveal about me and what I love and value?

If you were to use one word to describe your 2013, that word would be __________.
