Here's something holiday lore you probably never knew… cause I sure didn't. In 2004 (before gay families were commonly accepted), a filmmaker released Too Cool for Christmas and A Very Cool Christmas. Two identical movies, but one of them featured a pair of straight parents and one had two dads.

It takes strength to exercise restraint in a time of strength so a force can't defeat you in a moment of weakness. You might block distracting apps so you can focus when you need or commit to goals publicly so you're held accountable, and it turns out there's a name for that: a Ulysses Pact.
Ulysses pact - Wikipedia
A Ulysses pact or Ulysses contract is a freely made decision that is designed and intended to bind oneself in the future. The term is used in medicine, especially in reference to advance directives…

Many people treat pigeons like rats with wings, but pigeons once held human lives in their beaks. They navigated through gunfire, fog, and the open sea with a better success rate than many early radios. This article gave me a new appreciation for pigeons, as noble war heroes.

On the surface this beautiful story is about running, but it quickly becomes the tale of a father and son, ambition, illness, and building faith in one's self. Sometimes staying in motion is the only thing that can keep a person moving forward.
