This post may be more for me than for you.
Why?
This week there’s a pretty strong chance I’ll be worrying about something I can’t control. As I write this, I’m sitting in the Springfield airport where I’ll begin a trip that will have me gone for 6 nights in 3 cities where I’m scheduled to speak a total of 9 times. So what’s the problem?
Oh yeah, did I mention that my wife is due in a few weeks?
That’s the challenge of what I do. A big part of my job means that I’m on the road a decent amount. And when you have something like a pregnancy, it makes it difficult to schedule things accordingly. We make our living whenever I run my mouth and unfortunately, we can’t take off months at a time. After this week, I’m home for about 3½ weeks and technically, my wife is not due until July 13 so hopefully everything will time out fine.
So is it worth stressing myself out this week? Do I need to be panicked over something I have no control over?
Our daughter will come when she’s good and ready to come.
I just want to be there when it happens.
