Day 3,292

Growth:

Some actions are worth more time and energy than others even though they don’t feel nearly as urgent. Over the past week I’ve spend an oversized amount of time prepping for a specific project, putting in well over ten times the amount of time into preparation as went into the action itself, but it made all the difference. When there is a truly important task to be done remember to invest the time into it that it deserves, it will pay off.

Appreciation:

Crazy to think that 25 years ago, a quarter of a century, Becky and I met for the first time! In so many ways it feels like just a few days ago. The funny thing is that the first night we met we really were not into each other at all, it wasn’t until the next day that I was head over heals… she took a little longer to convince 😉

Here’s to 25 years of knowing each other, and to 24 years and 364 days of of knowing I’d met my soulmate.

Presence:

I’ve written often about my drive to work up the Mississippi River Valley each weekday. The stunning views of the bluffs, the river, and everything in between are spectacular and always worthy of gratitude. On many mornings at about this time of the year I have the opportunity to experience the sunrise slowly painting the bluffside as I drive upriver. The golden hues add a otherwordly glow to the hillsides, especially as the leaves start to change. This morning was one of those mornings 🙂

Thanks!!!
