Good Advice

I had a long talk with my mother, right before I left for Chicago. It was a good talk and, among the many bits of advice she gave me, she also joked around and said I should “relax” a bit more, when I’m around family. I know I’m the type of person who tends to keep his guard up a lot.

It was a good talk, and good advice. I’m not sure how the formal/serious side of me got some developed, but I’ve been thinking about her words, and myself on the drive back. And it’s true… it wouldn’t kill me to loosen up just a little. :)
