Thursday

Thursdays are great! I really enjoy them. Why not Friday? Well, I enjoy them like the rest of humanity that works a traditional week when I can have 2 consecutive days off (3 this week!!!!) and spend time with the family. Why Thursdays you may ask? One word: ROTARY. Today I had the opportunity to go to my meeting this morning, be inspired by wonderful people working for a common cause, then go to my youngest daughter's high school and attend Interact (Rotary for High School (service club, look great on college applications)) watch her actually VOLUNTEER to want to be a leader in the group, (that was awesome and humbling to see that) and then I attended my wife's Rotary Club this evening where she was officially inducted as a bona fide member of the Hispano-Latino Rotary Club here. I am so proud of her. The President had so many wonderful things to say about her. Her desire to serve, here ability to organize service projects, her love for those less fortunate and her love of people in general. I know where our kids get their strong desire to help those around them. She has done such a great job. Anyway, I wake up with Rotary on Thursdays, I eat lunch with Rotary (at least during school) and I end my day with Rotary. I enjoy Thursday. It is good to serve. It is good to be reminded to serve and look at those around us less, much less fortunate than we. It is humbling to realize how blessed we truly are. Thursdays, like mornings, are a chance to contemplate, reflect and prioritize my life and where adjustments need to be made. This meditative day helps me to appreciate my life, my children's lives and how blessed we truly are. I love Thursday!
