My kids. They do an amazing job of listening. I want to be a good role model. They inspire me to keep it together. My goal is to help them realize life will not be easy, so make it happen.
Even though they do say, โDad, Iโm tired of your life lessons." ๐

18-year-old me. I want to listen to the crazy things that will come out of my mouth. Then help that 18-year-old version see better things for himself.

The overall matriation of the family. The youngest will start high school. This marks a new chapter in watching our kids turn into adults. A new independence for us as parents and the kids.
Professionally, the plans and work from the past couple of years are coming into fruition.

Staying in the present. I will only have time to think and not worry about what's next.
Aaron, thank you for your leadership, for always making time for us, and for holding us accountable. We all hope you have an amazing day! ๐
