When I sit down to write Sunday Morning Reflections, I rarely start out knowing what I'd like to share. But this morning is different. I knew what was on my mind the minute the computer came on. In a few hours, we'll be headed to the airport for a flight to Detroit, and everything this morning is about hitting the "anticipation" button. There's this wonderful sense of controlled chaos in the air. Like most people, we stopped traveling when the pandemic hit. When it was over, we still limited travel, but by then, it was more related to changes in our activities. We decided to stay local, take the pups with us, and get to know Florida. While I attended a couple of conventions, air travel and preparation for a long trip was almost non-existent. I've written a lot over the years about the importance of conferences and attending every one that you can. One of the main reasons is exactly what I'm feeling right now - we're not even at ClickCon yet, and the anticipation is boiling over. A convention/conference, when it's in your own industry, starts recharging your battery the minute you make the commitment to attend. I'm all energy right now, and it's all coming from the excitement of seeing old friends, making new ones, and being around a group of people who all share a passion for imaging. And while getting ready for a trip these days, especially when you're flying, creates a lot of apprehension (we're on Delta!), nothing changes the smile on my face over catching up to people we care about. I've been in this industry my entire adult life, or at least that time I was supposed to be acting like an adult, and I'm just as excited this morning as I was for my very first PMA Show back in the late 1970s! I know I'm not alone, and many of you are right there with me! So, to those of you headed to ClickCon, safe travels - see you in a few hours. To the ClickCon team, thanks for what I know is going to be one of your best shows yet. And to those of you still on the fence, come on and join us—it's going to be memorable. How I love the career path I stumbled into 54 years ago! What a kick - See you in Detroit!
