Most progress doesn’t look like progress. It’s quiet mornings, early starts, and boring old consistency.

Yesterday’s Snow Storm

The timing of yesterday’s snow storm gave me a quiet morning with the family. We made pancakes, played with our son, and watched Star Wars on Disney+.

Work took a back seat and gave me time to appreciate recent upgrades we made to the home:

• The heat pump churned warmth
• My wife laying on our new rug with our son
• Our coats out of sight thanks to a new closet door

No fears. No worries. Nothing flashy or extravagant.

It’s like my recent purchases of contacts lenses and running shoes. They aren’t exciting toys or trips, but connect into this latest stage of life.

This stage of life isn’t about dramatic progress, rather quiet upgrades.

Upgrades that enable better routines, better habits, better choices, better decisions.

And not for today. They’re about being ready. Ready for what’s next.
