Good morning, Team! It’s Friday!

I know firsthand or secondhand, people involved in some of the recent air-related accidents and fatalities.

I’ve heard of multiple cancer diagnoses, unexpected deaths, and end of life stories recently.

After going through significant career changes in my own life, watching the news lately gives me pause. One example I heard just yesterday was a former coworker who had been fired twice and rehired twice in less than a week!

These events may not change the actions I take but will likely make me think about them differently. 

For instance: 

-I still fly most weeks. The FAA is not broken … but it needs more attention and support. 

-Health is incredibly important. Most choices do not have an immediate impact but we have enough information and access to quality healthcare that most can live a full life.

-Change is inevitable. I understand the need for change. I have considered myself a change agent and often unapologetically so. Typically requires courage and plan-full determination to right the ship and often you inherit years, if not decades, of conflict avoidance and indecision that leads to the need for change. However, this is not an excuse for lack of civility and compassion.

I read this quote at the top of the blog a while back that certainly hones in on perspective. 

Have a blessed weekend!
