MOLESKINE: I recently watched the movie Young Washington, which you can watch on the Angel app, and found it to be a very good movie. It was centered around George Washington’s younger years and highlighted some of his early challenges, particularly around his stubbornness and inexperience. I enjoyed seeing and reflecting on my own mistakes and my own shortcomings and how to think about channeling that into wisdom and understanding that comes from defeats. You never know what lies on the other side of defeat, and as long as you don’t quit or give up, you give yourself a chance for amazing things. Disclaimer: It’s pretty gory and graphic in parts, so it might not be suitable for young children, but my older boys enjoyed it as well.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: See general channel
COT: Prayers were said

MARY: circle of ab beat downs led by the whole pax
MOLESKINE: little parlay action from the last moleskin about how comparison is the thief of joy. There is nepotism and generational wealth everywhere, nothing wrong with that, take it if you can get it, but that is why you never compare your lives to others, everyone has a different set of circumstances and may be ahead so to speak for various reasons.
Live your own best life and not worry about others and how they may be further ahead than you are.
Got me thinking about how money can buy a lot of things, it can get the wealthy out of trouble, the corrupt out of court, but one thing Money can’t buy is a fit and healthy body. That takes discipline and hard work and no one can buy themselves fitness. Takes time and effort and discipline.
