Lunch Box Quotes - The Cognitive Warrior Project

We are back at it tonight, two lacrosse games, one each for Numbers 2 and 3. This time, it is split-team operations for the wife and me, as they are being played at the same time, geographically an hour apart. For the boys, we cannot afford a letdown from the weekend, and for the girls, it’s righting the ship. Updates to follow tomorrow.

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins.
