Though it's a bit late, I'd still like to share Thursday's exercise. It's Right Striving or it's also called Right Effort.
"In human striving, take care not to do anything beyond your power.
At the same time, however, do not leave anything undone that is within your ability.
Look beyond the moment, the ordinary and pose goals (ideals) for yourself that are connected with the highest of human responsibilities.
In relation to these exercises, for example, try to develop yourself so that later - if not immediately - you may be better able to help and advise others.
All this may be summed in this way:
Let all the preceding exercises become a habit."
I think it's good to practice all these exercises and make them a habit of ourselves. I have always read that we are not looking for perfection, especially for parents, but we are always striving to be a better parent, and a better person as well.

We must constantly revise our path Lee.
It seems that things will change whether we like it or not.
So in all things we must be flexible and keep a close watch.

Yes, I agree with you. I always learned this from the Buddhist teaching - "the only constant is change". That means change is inevitable, hence it's always good to us to understand that, and when changes come, we learn to accept or adapt to it.
I have recently read this as well - "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."
We can't avoid the change, but we can learn how to deal with it.
