I’ll have to send that Dave Barry quote to my dad (age 93). We used to enjoy his column in the paper together. This small sample demonstrates why. Thanks for the smiles, Mitch–and the tug of nostaliga on the heartstrings!
The Sandberg quote is amazing and humbling and joyful.

I’m sending a link to this post to my daughter, a new mom who feels the concordant worry and guilt of that role, with the suggestion: “Keep your eye on the big picture. You’re doing everything fine. Love Mom”
Good for you, Mom’s Mom.
