Stewardship. Whatever notion of this virtue you’ve been spoon-fed… 
erase it. It's not just stuff. It's everything...

and how you view and manage life's gifts, especially the ones that seemingly should've ended you, is everything.

Yes, even when your dad curses you for the last time…

even when you clean your buddy's blood and flesh off of his charred rifle...

even when Marines slam your office door shut to talk suicide…

even when you hand a child his father’s flag.

So pour a cup of coffee, find a comfy chair, and remember as I read you today's reflections...

whoever you are and wherever you are, you are always welcomed and you are always worth it. I’m with you on your left.
