20161020 + Perspective

20161020 + Up at 4am PST to catch the first plane of the day.  Was awake for most of the 4 hour flight from Seattle to Chicago.  I think everyone should take at least one flight every couple of years to get things in perspective.  As you look down from the plan at 30,000 feet in the air everything looks so small, but each piece of land is someones that is the center of their world.  You can see the flat lands that were made by rivers over long periods of time that still wind through them.  So why do we get so focused on our little pieces?  Even more amazing is the even with all this huge world God knows what our individual needs are.  Amazing when you step back and see how much there is...

Made it to Chicago, got something to eat and then jumped on the short flight back to Columbus.  L was there to pick me up :-)  Home and we had dinner, D ran of to DGF7 and LJG&I played Scrabble the remainder fo the evening.  D back and we worked on his Eagle Project.

We had lunch in the huge cafeteria area and then split up into two groups. One group had more meetings and Jeff and I went to re-image a bunch of Surface units, well Jeff did. After work we headed to downtown Seattle to go up in the Space Needle and have a good dinner. The views from up there were amazing, quite a good experience. Back to the hotel and to bed early preparing for an early start tomorrow.
