These Are the Good Ole Days

Today my bride and I have been doing some good work at an area school. The daily assignment was straightforward and borderline mundane. I am tempted in these moments to throttle down and coast. It’s easy to miss things in that way. This is a lesson I am slow to learn. As we were talking about some big changes happening in our lives right now, I was reminded that these are the good ole days. We will look back at life with a mixture of joy and regret, so remember to enjoy every day. The days go slow, and years go fast. Seize every day like it is a gift to be enjoyed. Of all the hours [given] or stolen by watching The Office, one thing from Michael Scott stands out, “I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.”

It’s easy to just think things will be better, when, I graduate, when I get married, when the weekend comes, when we go on that annual vacation, etc. Stop wishing your life away and enjoy every day.  Ring out the blessings from every moment of every day. Don’t stop living because you are waiting for something to happen.

These are the good ole days. Enjoy them.

Dare greatly.

Live humbly.

Be a better man.
