The Journey

Do you remember when you were just 5 years old, or when you reached 10 years of age?

Your age is such a intangible element, but when you are young you just simply 'ached' to be older. To be that much taller, to make the basketball team, to outgrow the braces in mouth, and to achieve some goal that you have sought to attain.

But it seems as you grow older you want to be 'younger', the face-creams and eye products arrive. The massages and treatments become no longer a treat, but an aid to longevity.

We all seem to be on journey that you never actually arrive.

It seems simple that my learning is that the journey is indeed to be enjoyed as much as the destination.

Only drink good wine.
Live to eat, not eat to Live.
Enjoy (Love) what you do
Make everyday a great one !

Heard the voice mail today from Mike Heim about you leaving the company. I can't tell you how sad that makes me. You truly inspired me while you were here.

I hope you are moving on to a very good situation, and I hope some of the things you brought here can remain. I also hope I am able to see you again in the very near future. Thanks for everything you brought to us, David, and my heartfelt best wishes.

David, Your leadership will be missed here at Lilly in Demand IT. Good luck in all your ventures.
Its a small world, so I am sure we will be seeing each other again.

I was shocked by the news, but I won't be surprised to see you somewhere carrying on the journey with your authentic leadership and charismatic personality, which continues to inspire the next...

I have a photo of the shop on Wyndham from just after WWII. I tried to attach to to one of the Gee family history blog entries, but something must have gone wrong.

Let me know if you want a copy.
