Today I simply want to look at perspective. By definition, perspective is “a particular attitude toward a way or regarding something; a
point of view”.
My perspective has changed this year. In December of 2013 I
purposed to do some things differently in 2014. I had a desire to read daily;
exercise regularly; and celebrate life with family and friends. In 365 days there
are some noticeable changes.
Family memories:
1) Ken
and I remodeled our home in Alaska
(and visited 3 times)
2) Karen
married Steve (January)
3) We
honored Uncle Knox and Aunt Mary (January)
4) We
celebrated Uncle Jimmy’s life (February)
5) Cory
married Lori (April)
6) Kaylee
announced upcoming nuptials to Josh (July of 2015)
7) Ken
& I hailed our 43rd wedding anniversary
8) We
purchased an RV and took our first trip (September)
9) Dad
marked his 85th birthday (October)
Office recollections:
1) Nacho
Bar (May)
2) Annual
Thanksgiving Feast (November)
3) Remodel
Stapley Office (September)
4) Restaged
Park Plaza
5) National
Speaker Michael Maher (September)
6) Marissa
had baby Jessie at the beginning of the year
7) Nicole
moved to Flagstaff
and Lexi stepped into her slot
8) Karla
merged into the group when Park
Plaza
9) Marc
connected in January
10) Leslie blended
with us in April
11) Corina joined the staff in July
12) Gina came
aboard in September
People around me see the noticeable changes, I feel the
invisible changes. Yes, there has been some drama and even some trauma this
past year, but when I look back on 2014, it has been a grand adventure.
On December 12th, Ken and I are off to plan 2015. We’ll be flying to Alaska , for family time with our Alaskan children and
grandchildren. There’ll be snow,
Christmas caroling, hot chocolate and private time. Don’t worry. We’re back in time to share
Christmas lamb with the kids here in Arizona
as we spend a warm sunny Christmas day on the back patio and in the hot tub.
Experience has taught me to be SMART this time of the year -
plan and project for 2015.
