When I opened this post and added the below picture, days ago, it matched my mood precisely.  I felt a connection to my Dad, through this image of his serenity, that I don’t often feel.

I’m hoping that I can feel that more as I continue to grow into this fatherhood business, and as I reach for wisdom. I’m not under any crazy delusion that I’ll grasp wisdom, but it’s a good road to walk, I think.  A good goal to strive for.

To be completely honest, I still sometimes have a hard time believing that I’m a Dad.  Since I’ve put on those boots, though, I have discovered a whole new level to the definition of the word “responsibility.”
