  by Skip Cohen Sunday Morning Reflections are always off the topic of marketing. For me, it's therapeutic to share something going on that's not directly related to imaging and business. It helps me recharge my battery for the new week ahead. Sheila and I read something motivational to each other every morning over breakfast. She picks her book for the year, and I pick mine. While not every day has a thought that hits home, there's always something motivational. My book for this year has been by Cyndie Spiegel. Just click on the thumbnail if you'd like more information. Today's reading hit me hard, in part because of its simplicity. It got me thinking about my life and friends over the years who made both right and wrong choices. The key word here is "choice." Living a good life doesn't mean it's without challenges, but how you handle those challenges sets the stage for everything else. A good life is not something that just happens to you. You choose it as much as it chooses you. You decide to live well every day with every single decision you make. You love, You dream. You fail. You fall. And eventually, you get up. You try again. And maybe again. You stand tall. You shift. You grow. You create. Because you made the conscious choice to live a good life, to live well - whatever that means to you. Speaking of challenges, Mother Nature is about to drop another one on our doorstep. Hurricane Milton is gathering strength, and it's bizarre to prepare for another one while we're still cleaning up after Helene.
While we have control over many aspects of our destiny, it doesn't include the weather. We're doing our best to be "big kids" about this - we'll prepare like we always do, and we've got good friends inland who have a room ready for us. We'll evacuate if necessary, but that doesn't change the stress of the unknown, especially the storm surge, since we're at 9 1/2 feet elevation, and only two houses from the inland waterway! Wishing everybody a day ahead to live the best life you can. Focus on the positive and "stand tall...shift...grow and create." Go for those eleven-second therapeutic hugs I always write about with the people you love the most - they're a big part of what makes a good life! Happy Sunday...or Monday if you're on the other side of the world.
