Tonight was all about comfort food. I met Mike at Cracker Barrel for dinner. I don't exactly know why I like this restaurant so much. The food is not remarkable. The decor is rather tacky. But I feel good every time I go. Tonight was no exception.
The good feeling was made even better by the company. Mike and I had a great conversation about nature versus nurture. A conversation with a client got me thinking as I drove around the state today and I shared my thoughts with Mike. My client was lamenting the challenges she was having with her sixteen year old son. I thought about just how fortunate I have been with my son. I dreamed years ago of raising my little red headed handful into a confident, successful man. My dream came true beyond my wildest dreams. Ryan and I argue about who should get more credit for the way he turned out...his parents or his genes. He thinks he deserves most of the credit. I think his dad and I did a damn good job. Mike thinks nature and nuture both play important roles. Anyway, the topic lead to a great discussion with Mike and a big smile on my face. This was comfort at its best.
Many hugs,
Kathy
