Me too & wowzers did my feet hurt on Sunday after a very long Saturday evening in heels.


I had a great convo with DD14 last night, just random sharing about our days that led to a deeper talk about her observations in life. I couldn't help but laugh when she brought up the ability to be comfortable in silence since I had just brought it up in this thread yesterday myself. More to the point, she's noticed how her dad obviously struggles with silence & perceives every silence as an awkward space to fill... but you know, she sees how his ADHD brain functions differently in a lot of ways & that this is just another example of how the hamster is always running on his wheel in his brain, differently than ours.

It was one of those "sliding door moments" - pretty basic on the surface, but are actually profound opportunities to nurture the connection between us. She equally delights & scares me with her perceptions at 14.
