Whenever I go on a trip, I use Dallas Valet. I really like the service. It is reasonably priced and frankly makes my life a little easier. When I returned from a recent trip I said hello to the gentleman who had my car and asked him how he was – his response: "Living and learning!" To me what a great and meaningful response. I paused for a minute and thought, ok what did I learn last week? Here are a few things:
- I learned that life is way too short and things can change very quickly. Whether it is someone close to you gets sick or loses their job or whatever it is but recently this learning has really been reinforced.
- During one of our internal meetings I learned that not only do we have a solid team, we also really can and are making things happen. I guess I sort of always knew that but I really (for some reason) really noticed it during our officers meetings and looked around the room and saw everyone in a different light than I had in the past.
Ok your turn:
- Are you living and learning?
- What did you learn last week?
I look forward to your comments.

I didn’t learn this last week,but I thought about it in the last few weeks. I alway believe in telling the people close to me that I appreciate and love them. Recently I have had to cope with someone very close to me being diagnosed with a serious cancer. So Merrill what you said in your opening statement that things can change in an instance is so true. Live every day to the utmost and enjoy the people around you and let them know you care. I take one day at a time and stay strong and pray a lot.

Merrill, I also have had updates on one of my best friends that has cancer. It really makes you thankful that you and your family are in good shape – treasure each! I also learned that wisdom comes out of the mouths of 3 and 5 year olds. No holds barred and they let you know when you are doing something right or wrong (in their eyes). I also realized again after a few more interviews – I really do enjoy working with volunteers and attempting to make a difference in your community or someone’s life! Can’t wait to see what is around the corner next!
