Before wrapping up my story, I feel the need to make this disclosure:
If you've been attentive to details, you may have found yourself scratching your head, because certain facts have been presented out of order.
If you ask why that's the case, I'll reply: I chose to make use good of creative license in the interest of describing some of the more zany aspects of our family interactions.
In short, I consciously played loose with the truth by condensing two Thanksgiving feasts into one. You see, the food fight did not precede the crash. Truthfully, the food fight took place at least two years after that particular crash. By condensing two separate feasts into one, I was able to pair the sublime and ridiculous aspects of heartfelt togetherness with an element of solemn pathos, thus combining both sides of family life, and in this way I offered up an overview into a home where leadership remains acutely aware of each person's brain, working to balance life's two most powerful forces of nature ... and if I leave you to ponder upon those two forces of nature, I wonder if your mind will conjure up their names?
Here's a hint toward deciphering the answer to today's riddle:
These two dominant forces of nature, of which we each need to grow aware, are polar opposites ...
Want another hint?
Okay ...
One dynamic force of nature is fortified by courage; the other is often motivated by underlying fear
Last hint ...
Those who reap the ultimate reward of transforming underlying fear into courageous success place a high value on developing character traits that train the eye to remain aligned with positively focus ...
Though I'd hoped that today's post would bring us full circle, concerning the unlikely way that Will and I began to gift our sons with cars in celebration of their college graduations ... the story of our family's love affair with our convertible has not quite reached its end for this reason ... today's train of thought undermined my original plan. sooo ... Hopefully, tomorrow's post will wrap this story by offering you a bird's eye view of one of our precious sons escaping honest-to-goodness-there-by-the-grace-of-God-go-I flames ...
