Last year, I was forced to take some time off from working and consider my present and future. Believe me, work wasn't at the top of my list. I realized that the only sane course was to repair my health and my relationships with those who had fallen away due to my own neglect. It was my last chance in some cases. That done, I can now move ahead; at a slower pace, but finally happy. Thanks for the post, Rich.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-44411793243959808662015-05-22T09:39:44.818-07:002015-05-22T09:39:44.818-07:00When my daughter was three or so, I came home late...When my daughter was three or so, I came home late from work four nights in a row - too late to read to her in bed. That night, I asked myself who was going to come to my funeral, my co-workers and say I was the best marcom manager or my kids and wife and tell me I was the best dad and husband. I made a choice even though it has probably cost me a fair amount of salary during the years. On Tuesday, we had to put my dad in a home because his Alzheimer's had gotten so bad. According to his day in-home help, it was the fastest she's ever seen someone decline. A couple months ago, I took a day off work and I drove him up to Peninsula skyline, down through the Redwoods and we had lunch in Half Moon Bay. I don't begrudge or judge anyone's professional and career decisions - that's their business, but I know what works for my peace of mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-70121305424620863452015-05-22T00:25:14.214-07:002015-05-22T00:25:14.214-07:00You are right.

Forgoing valuable time with family, loved ones and friends all in the pursuit of bigger bank accounts, material things, and a pat on the head from their boss. Stop and smell the roses, son - it really holds true.
