Day 3,921

Growth:

Remember that it takes a little longer to teach, but only when viewed in the near term. When one zooms out and takes the long view the investment is so often much more worth the time than the initial cost of teaching.

Rather than doing something, consider teaching someone to do something if it is something they can and should do in the future.

Appreciation:

This evening after work we got Dominic on FaceTime and he and Gavin gave me my Father’s Day presents. The presents themselves were awesome and very fitting, but what I enjoyed even more was the opportunity to spend a little bit of bonus time with the boys and Becky joking around, seeing the smiles on their faces, and their shared excitement on what I would think of the gifts. Very fun moment as a dad, not the gifts themselves, but the gifts of a little extra time together.

Presence:

This morning I was working alone in an office, able to dive right in without disruption, knock out the work that needed to be done, and move from one task to another. There were still calls and meetings online for the morning, but it was a quiet calm I needed more than I realized I did.

Thanks!!!
