Thank you all. As you know I am incredibly dense. I'm in simple awe of you all.
Anyway, this morning my 4 year old and 8 year old helped me make a cup of coffee and a bagel with peanut butter on it for my wife. She slept in but eventually came out into the living room and sat in the recliner. The kids and I brought the bagel and coffee out to her. She said, "Awe. What's the occasion?" I said, "really?!! You forgot?" March 6th is a significant date for us. I let her wrestle through different scenarios. She said, "March 6th? Hmm." This is a rarity. That I would remember a special day compared to her is unheard of. She is always on top of all our special dates and she reminds me of my own families birthdays. She thinks of everyones special days and helps me to not forget them. She will remind me, "Call your brother. Today is the day he caught his second biggest fish." That is her accuteness to other people's days. But for the first time since forever I got one on her. I kind of liked it but at some point I just had to tell her. After all, this is a catch and release program.
"This is our special day... every day."
That is the power of "no". Those of you that "no" already "no". Those of you that don't, I hope you get there. In r/zen you are in good hands. The best hands I have ever witnessed. How can random people on the internet care for other random people on the internet this much?
This is an AMA but any comments will be replied to by me with the sound of deafening silence. I would encourage you to do the same but that's not my place.
Thanks for nothing!
