Day 3,959

Growth:

Acknowledge the times in which rest is needed. Pause, sleep, recharge. There is so much to do, so much to experience, sometimes sleep seems to get in the way. Running full speed can only hold on for so long, eventually we need to refill the tank. No regrets in doing so, no shame in doing so. Realize the strength needed to intentionally sleep and rest, accept it, and do it.

Appreciation:

Throughout the year I’ve been putting additional focus on spending time with Gavin as he’s off to college in only a few weeks. One of the additional benefits of it is that I’ve also been more intentional with spending time with Dominic and Becky as well as other friends and family – nice added bonuses!

Gavin road up to Winona with me today for work to knock out more landscaping at our office. That gave us some bonus time in the car on the way up and the way back. After I got back from a work event this evening I was able to sneak in a little bonus time with him shooting the bull and catching up the show he’s watching and the book I’m reading (that was recommended by him).

The days are flying by so quickly, we don’t have much more time before he moves out East, I’m very grateful for the moments we’re getting before he goes!

Presence:

Getting over nine hours of sleep on a weeknight was exactly what this guys needed! This morning I felt completely relaxed and recharged when I woke up, ready to take on the day and feeling like my batteries were full. Throughout the day this continued to make a huge positive impact. A full, deep night of sleep, such a gift!

Thanks!!!
