A moment to cherish and an opportunity to breathe…

Today was a special Father’s Day for me as I was able to spend it with my Dad for the first time in several years. For sixteen years I have lived far from my parents and it was through the love and thoughtfulness of my Mom that my Dad secured a ticket for his quick jaunt to see my wife and me. It is a great and special opportunity to reconnect in a very personal way and to be able to listen to his great stories and funny adventures. Thanks, Dad! (Thanks, Mom!)
While he is here I am constantly offered the choice between worrying about my upcoming summer work and living in the moment. It can be a challenge for me. I hope I reach a point where I do not regularly fear being unprepared for my job… This time with my Dad is such a special gift. I must remember this and put the *living* of each second ahead of worry about future moments.
