Look before you leap. I think we've all heard that saying umpteen times. It's supposed to remind us to be cautious before taking a risk. But then there's "throw caution to the wind," which is pretty much the exact opposite. So, which one is right?

I'm a cautious person by nature. I like to know the who, what, when, where, why and all possible outcomes before I do anything. It can be exhausting because I over think and over analyze things to death. Caution also gets me stuck in a rut, afraid to move forward.

I've still been struggling with determining whether I'm thinker or a do-er. Today, I got tired of being stuck in a rut. I decided to be a do-er. I ignored caution altogether and jumped in feet first. Let's hope I stick the landing.

More to come...

Such A Tease

Phil and Tyler tease each other all the time. Phil has a sarcastic sense of humor, and Tyler can't always tell when Phil is joking. He makes himself a really easy target sometimes.

Tyler: When we get home is it my bedtime?

Phil: Yes

Me: No, it's Saturday of a holiday weekend I figured you'd both be up all night playing video games.

Tyler: Yeah dad, we're supposed to stay up doing father son things. We're supposed to relate to each other and tell each other our feelings.

Phil: Well then, I feel like it's going to be your bedtime.

One of these days, Tyler will catch on and be able to give as well he gets.
