NMM
There’s an old Italian saying, “after the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.” When our days are done, it doesn’t matter how much money we made or how fine our possessions were. We should use our time to get right, live right, and lead right so we can leave right. Stay humble, be kind, and love always. That’s the legacy that lasts beyond when we close the box on the game.
Aye!
45 min miles

COT:
Shot for the Prayer of St. Francis, but didn’t quite have the thing memorized. Memorize is my word of the year, I’m working on it.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
An honor to lead such a solid crew.
