Day 3,654

Growth:

“Sleep is a quiet accelerator.”

The more sleep we get over a long period of time the better we feel and more healthy we are. When we don’t get a good night of sleep it slowly adds up and compounds leading to an ongoing decrease in performance.

Last night I did not get a good night of sleep (more on that in a moment) and it reminded me of just how important it is!

Appreciation and Presence:

These two are very much combined today! Last night I opted to spend my birthday night with Gavin watching the Packer game. Initially I was going to watch half or so, but we both got into it and it was a very tight game. As the clock ticked down Dominic joined us via FaceTime and the three of us were cheering, jeering, and enjoying the time together. By the time it was all over the game ended in a tie – pretty much the lamest possible result – but a memorable one for sure!

Yes, I should have gotten more sleep. I should have gone to bed earlier. All that said, it was worth every moment to have that additional time with Gavin & Dominic. My brother and I still have very fond memories of watching games with Dad way back in the day, they are memories that live on. Knowing I created some of those memories with the boys while being 100% present with them as we watched the game was priceless!

Thanks!!!
