mi padre’s birthday

Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. So that you are a little more invested in this, here’s a picture of him:

Pic of him maybe 30 years ago?

He’s a great guy. A smart guy. I am not super close with him. I wish I was and hopefully that will change one day, I just don’t really know how to change it. I was thinking the other day that if I’ve been so aware of all this other change in my life why shouldn’t I be able to change my relationship with him?

Since I was so successful (well, pretty successful) with posting something here so to hold myself accountable I thought I’d give it a try again. Also since I am trying to be a bit more open as a person I thought this would be a good step in that regard as well.

Maybe over Thanksgiving I will say something. Maybe I will just try to be more tuned into to his energy and statements and things like that. I am not sure what I'll actually do or what the result will be but like I’ve written about before (here) step 1 in change management is acknowledging you want or need a change. So that’s that.
