Day 3,349

Growth:

I am not required to have an opinion. My opinion is 100% optional. I can choose to have an opinion or I can choose to not concern myself with it.

Choose to withhold an opinion at least three times more often than having one, life will be easier, more joyful, and will contain significantly less stress.

Appreciation:

Almost fifty years of life, so many memories that they come crashing in waves. Largely joyful, even the difficult ones provide opportunities for growth and learning. Maybe even they are the milestones markers of past growth.

Throughout the past few days so many memories have gone through my mind. Times as a child, a teenager, a college student, an adult, a parent, and so many other roles and ages in between. I can’t help but smile at how many wonder human beings I’ve been blessed to interact with throughout those years. They’ve all left fingerprints upon my being. Each made their mark in their own special way, I am who I am as a result of their impact. As a rock in a river they have passed by and indelibly made they mark on me.

How fortunate am I to have had such a kaleidoscope of humans touch my life!

Presence:

The moment of seeing a sales deal worked from start to finish has dry ink on it!

Thanks!!!
