I once read a quote that said something to the effect of “Remember when you wished for all of the things that you now have”.

The other evening after work I shared some tender moments with my nearly three-year old son and my heart and soul were alive recalling this sentiment. We had just spent some time together at the beach as the sun was getting lower in the sky. On the way home, we stopped at a farm stand to procure freshly picked strawberries and produce. As I took the long way home on a beautiful residential drive, I glanced back at my son in his car seat, with his limbs that were getting longer by the day. His mouth was covered in luscious green juice from summer snap peas that I taught him to “crunch” open with his teeth, his feet covered in sand, with a joyful look on his face. In that moment, I grinned, and reminded myself of how precious a moment so simple can be. While my work is always a priority, it is my goal this summer to experience more of those moments and I wish that you all have the opportunity to do so, too.
