Regrouping

Last night Wren wanted us to watch Gattaca. He’d seen it in class, liked it and wanted to share it. That sort of thing always feels great, especially when the movie is good:)

It was made in 98, I think. Not so long ago. Just a generation or so. These actors who were so beautiful then are still beautiful today. Nothing has changed.

Except—spoiler alert—Jude Law’s character calls it because his legs don’t work. It’s foolish to let that define you. We’ve got people whose entire brains don’t work and they do fine.

So if, on a Saturday, you don’t crack any major milestones, that’s ok. Think about that baby learning to walk. She doesn’t count the days. She just keeps moving forward.

Tonight, as we neared bed, I asked Tanja, “what’s on your mind?”

“Nothing,” she replied.

“There is nothing on your mind?” I said skeptically.

“There is one thing on my mind, Jed,” she said patiently. “All the time. I just don’t want to say it constantly. “

Tomorrow is Easter, a good day for renewal!
