Reflections

It’s a mixed up, crazy, fun and loving world, my friends. Sometimes it helps to slow down one’s pace and reflect. If only for a few minutes. Sometimes… you just need your front porch.14681966_10207205428798596_7249812695780034615_o

Every Moment.

The front porch. Coffee. A break between client appointments and the twists and turns of the past 10 days. A bit of time to reflect on the dynamic of friendships, the unique bonds of family and the ultimate fragility of life. I seldom do this. I conduct my life with my mind focused on what’s next. And thus, I miss so much. I’ve MISSED so much. I often miss the joy of the present. And only when I’m confronted with life’s fragility do I take a moment to stop and become aware of the present. To take inventory of my blessings and find the compassion others need from me. Real compassion, not just passing gestures. And to allot enough time for this compassion. I need to become better. Better at being aware of the moment. Better at soaking in the joy of the present. Better at truly enjoying the gifts of relationships.

Family.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for well over 18 years. And during that time, I’ve always held close to the belief that while being an entrepreneur requires risk and a lot of hard work, it’s important to take advantage of one of the benefits and that is a flexible schedule.

This afternoon I enjoyed a short break from real estate to play in the park with my son and daughter. Being with them is a reminder of how precious ‘time’ truly is and that there is no greater gift one can give another than ‘time.’

And by the way, my son’s Whiffle Ball skills are pretty good.
