Day 3,707

Growth:

Communication makes all the difference in the world. Don’t assume, ask enough questions to know we are on the same page. Pause, ask questions, hear the information fed back, and then move forward. Action without clarity in communication leads to more work down the road.

Appreciation:

Getting the morning run in before work. Talking with Becky during the run and while helping her loosen up a frustrating back muscle. Taking time to enjoy my coffee on the ride to the office. Pausing to savor the sight of the mirror like Mississippi River, so still due to the lack of wind. Enjoying great music in the car, letting my mind wander as I enjoy being present in the moment. Such a wonderful start to the morning!

Presence:

Pausing for a moment to enjoy the memory of a wonderful moment from many years ago with a dear friend who is no longer with us. Remembering her vibrance, her positive impact, and the impermanence of life. The moment was a reminder to me to focus on what is most important in life – living.

Thanks!!!
