The question: How do you measure, measure a year?\u201d provides a moment for quiet reflection on how we are choosing to spend each of these precious moments. Yes, the measure may be partly in the magnificent sunrises and sunsets, the simple joys of a cup of coffee or the joyful moments of hearty, belly-laugh. We need them all. Yet, there is so much more as we continuously stretch and challenge ourselves and others to find their full richness. In choosing your answer to the question, remember the often quoted advice: \u201cLife is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.\u201d Live life with excitement, passion and love! Life is so very beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning. &nbsp; From the Broadway play, Rent, comes a wonderful song, Seasons of Love.
