Day 4,036

Whew – this is going to be a short one, been a full day and I’m running on fumes.

Here’s the quick version of a bunch of the gratitudes today:

• Starting a morning with a few extra minutes of sleep, the snooze is sometimes our buddy!
• Wrapping up a book that is incredibly powerful, every time it is a gut punch to wrap up Of Mice and Men.
• Spending useful coaching time on teammates who are focused on growth and open to learning.
• Lunch with a highly driven college student to talk about potential career paths.
• An afternoon focused on catching up on a handful of necessary tasks that have been piling up.
• Spending time in conversation with Becky as we have a moment of calm in the sea of a busy week.
• Eating supper with one of our favorite people, hearing his stories of all he’s passionate about.
• FaceTime with all four of us, connecting, joking, and having fun while pressing the pause button on life to be present with each other.
• Texting and joking with my brother and my boys during the baseball game.
• Listening to the Brewers game as they sweep the Dodgers to go back to their first World Series since I was 6 years old!
• Hopping on the phone with my little brother, easily the biggest Brewers fan I know, to hear the sheer excitement in his voice as we both are in shock that something completely impossible actually happened!

Off to bed with a giant smile.

Thanks!!!
