My wife often gets on me about my tendency to overshare. I don't view it as oversharing, I just view it as being real. But, I had to take inventory and check myself. As I slow down and do some reflecting, I seem to only share the sensitive, funny, vulnerable, introspective, reflective, naive, and dark portion of this journey I call life. I realized I've been a little bit of a hypocrite! I then asked myself, why don't I ever share the victories I've experienced along my journey?

A slight digression...

A person responded quite passionately to one of my morning texts a few years back, I did not understand then, but I understand now. They were upset I appeared to minimize my success at Waffle House, almost like fake humility. That comment hit me differently at the time. It hurt me, but I now understand the spirit behind the message.

Back to the present...

I did not and do not want to ever come across as bragging or arrogant so I've tried to leave out the success I've experienced along my journey. In doing so I've been slightly hypocritical. I talk about being transparent, but I've been, at times, opaque! Internally I've always realized the importance of sharing the victories and the valleys of life, but have not done a good job of sharing my victories. For that, I apologize and will work to be more balanced...

I have recently been promoted at Waffle House. I'm still an Executive

Vice-President with responsibilities in Operations, but I have also been asked to run the Real Estate Department on the Support side of the business.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to do more.

Have a great Thursday!

Stay safe!

Time for my “Gymdance”
