I don’t know about you, but I think we professionals (read “me”) get caught up in the muckity-muck of our lives. The things. The prestige. The salaries. We get to the point where our lives become too complicated for the simple things in life. Over the past five years or so, I’ve taken a journey backwards in so many ways. I’ve had to roll back my life to find out what’s really important to me, and make sure that it is first and foremost in my life every day. Our lives are too short to forget to have fun and enjoy. We can sit and wonder “Why?” until we are so depressed that we cannot get out of bed. Or, we can find joy in the moment we have right now, even if life sucks around us.
