RE: ECONOTRAVEL: How I only spent $20 in my first 41 nights in Hawaii and LOVED it!
Guessing your 49? Haha. Yes, I do know what you are talking about. I have a few friends who have followed the same teaching path just show them how broken the system is. Change from within. I would like to teach as well if only I had finished my degree. I am happy to say I am doing fine without it :) Now I have my daughter and a chance to nurture and her mind! None of my many adventures even comes close to this feeling!
We didn't stress college for our sons. Both are raising their families now and doing well, without degrees. It's over-rated, except in some cases where the academics actually prepare you for the job at hand. Mostly, it's bloated nonsense though.
Kids are great. Congrats, and enjoy the ride. Three quick thoughts, for what it's worth.
-Every minute matters. She'll be gone before you know it, so make them count.
-Daughters look for love. If they don't get it from dad, they'll find it elsewhere. I don't have daughters, but a friend who does shared that and it's stuck with me.
-We are always teaching. Everything we do teaches something. It's a really powerful observation.
