Campfire Story #1: The Boxer Shorts Run

 

I was so wrapped up in life that I forgot to change into my running shorts.  Halfway through my run, I realized I was running in my boxers!

Fortunately, they were dark blue and mostly covered by my T-shirt, so no harm done...

 

Imagine it—a retired Army officer and Ranger preparing to embark on one of the biggest adventures of his life, accidentally deploying in his underwear.

 

What struck me wasn't the mistake. A week ago, I probably would have been embarrassed.  Today, I just laughed.  Maybe that's progress.

 

As the Fire Dies Down...

 

Maybe healing isn't when you stop making mistakes.

 

Maybe healing is when you stop letting every mistake define you... and instead allow it to become part of the story that carried you to a better place.
