My wife and I have a dinner table tradition. Every night when we sit down to eat together with our son, we ask each other: "What's your rose and thorn of today?" It's a chance to share out loud what the best part of that day was and what the worst part was.
Last month, I took my 2.5-year-old son and pregnant wife to Disneyland for three days. Before going, we made one critical decision: everyone naps daily at noon, no exceptions.
In September, I quit my childhood dream job. I resigned as my league's fantasy football commissioner. I wrote a big heartfelt message to my league's whatsapp group, hit send and waited for my group of childhood best friends to react.
