I’m Sad It Ended, But Happy It Happened (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always find myself sad at the end of vacations, whether they are big ones or small ones, and whether they are with friends or family. To me, it feels a little like heartbreak knowing another period of time is over. While I don’t know exactly when these feelings started, I know some of it is part of aging.This time I realized some of it is also grief.Since I figured that out, I’m trying to flip my thinking on it. Instead of being sad that it is over, I want to focus on the happy-it-happened par

Legacy. It’s not a word I like to use, because I think it can sound pretentious, but it is something I’ve been thinking about lately.

Each year is great, yet something about this year just flowed. And time slowed down. Truly slowed down.I fully lost track of the days. I barely checked my emails. I didn’t worry about deadlines or whethe
So Much More (opens the original)
Read excerpt

We meet in early June and then again in early September, so the summer is spent doing all the things we love: ordering equipment, making deliveries, working with families, and processing applications.As one delivery led to the next, I found myself thinking about something we don't always stop to think about: what the equipment really
