As the days and miles have recently been rolling over, I have spent a great deal of time in a mode of reflection.
What has spurred this on is watching my children, who seem to be getting older and more grown up with each passing day. Seeing my oldest daughter not too far away from her teenage years makes me look back over a period in my life where everything has moved by really fast. The fact that all my kids are getting older, my time spent in my company is fast approaching 20 years, and I am now in my mid-40s has caused me to have moments of deep reflection. It’s also been interesting to travel with a much younger group of people in the company and see what things are important to them and how they view the world. All of this has triggered random moments of reflection.
In these moments, it is really rewarding to pause and think about how grateful and blessed I am for the things in my life.
Even with all the tests, trials, tribulations, and stress, it is still a truly wonderful life to live.
There are challenges every day, but I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.
