It is another gorgeous day in Summit~ And I am busy running around packing a bag because I am driving to Colorado Springs to spend the weekend with my parents.
This is a big deal! My parents have been quarantining very diligently for the past year. No hugs. No family dinners. But now that we all are all at least two weeks post vaccination, I am welcomed into their home again! Happy Day!! And I have been working a lot lately, adding vaccination clinics on to my full time gig so I feel almost giddy at the thought of lounging with a cup of coffee, chatting about family members and hanging with the folks! I might even see my brother... well, we'll see ...
Thank you to the Rotarians who added their names to the list of people willing to be interviewed by high school students about their professional lives. If you look back at the road that your life has taken, then think about what you thought you wanted to become when you were in high school, how different is that past dream from the reality? I am thankful for the turns that my life has taken that have brought me here. Thankful for the random choices made that turned out to be a pivot that led me in a new direction.
Have a great weekend until we see each other, either in person or over zoom for our meeting on Tuesday. If you are coming in person, please remember to sign up to attend. And as always, wear your mask, keep physically distanced, and wash your hands!
Thank you!
Stay safe~
