Spirit

I spent the last few days in London at a family reunion. 40 people across 3 continents — it was fantastic.

Since our family is spread out, we do these once a decade (of course, with other events like weddings and birthdays). Yes, video + chat makes the distance feel smaller, but my goodness, nothing beats quality time in-real-life (IRL).

One of the blessings was spending time with some of our seniors (in their 80s!). It made me reflect on two things.

1. You don’t have to act your age, but your spirit. Their positive, loving attitude over multiple decades is inspiring.

2. If time machines existed, I would love to spend time with a younger version of themselves. What a treat it would be to share dreams, hopes, and fears in the early prime years.

Here’s to more happy memories down the road!
