Your Great Days

I don’t know what your great days were, but my great days as a boy included:
Catching my first trout
Hitting my first Little League and Babe Ruth League home runs
Meeting my wife-to-be at age 14
Winning a couple of junior golf tournaments
My high school years

As I grew older, my great days included:
Finding and reading some of the world’s great literature
Marriage and living with the women I loved
Seeing students I taught catch the vision
Teaching and enjoying my children as they grew up
Finding my religion and knowing the purpose for my life and the direction it should take, and serving in my Church
Enjoying the great out-of-doors—camping, fishing in the Rocky Mountains, gardening and cutting trees

Taking an inventory of where you have been, where you are now, where you want to go, and what you are doing to get where you want to go can and should be a valuable on-going exercise.
