I first shared this a couple of years ago when the world seemed to be going crazy and there was nothing I could do about it.
This year has been a real humdoozy too for different reasons!
Our family has welcomed another little bundle of joy earlier than expected (he’s doing really well, thank the Lord) and transitions abound.
So when a friend of Papa’s reminded me of his wise words, I decided to share once more.
Maybe someone else needs to hear it again too.

I was talking to my dad the other morning as I do every morning.
We catch one another up on personal news and then turn to the world at large.
After another day of dismal and disconcerting headlines I asked my retired fighter pilot/flight instructor/still flying/recently bereaved dad, “So, how are you REALLY doing?”
He replied, “I’m flying the plane.”
He told me the first rule of flying was: NO MATTER WHAT– never, never, never stop flying the plane.
