So I drop off Eleanor at school the other day, and it was super sweet to just be with her. Anyway, I drop her off, you know, she's in this little preschool at nature school. And I'm walking away, you know, I'm closing the gate, and I look back and she's just there, jumping straight in and playing around. And she used to be super nervous when she first went there two years ago, right? And now she's just this really open, beautiful, happy, playful kid. It was just a moment for me of, wow, she's awesome. You know, she's so sweet. And it's going to go fast. I'm not that guy. I tend to be. Boom. I'm in my head, I'm thinking of the next thing we're going to do more often than I'm thinking like this. So then I'm just again, savoring. Feel this right now, feel this moment, just drop into it a little bit more. And then I'm now looking for those moments, in part because I've said they're important.
