So it's the first day of school for my daughter. Even though she is in pre-K, it's a big deal...as I found out from my wife yesterday. She asked me yesterday to meet her at our daughter's Montessori school today. While I didn't have it planned, I recently have come to learn and realize that my wife takes milestones like the first day of school as a big deal. I have also come to realize that being an hour late for work is worth it to show my daughter and my wife how important they are to me and it also sets an example for my son. Take time to stop and smell the roses, and be willing to be an hour late for work, when your spouse, family or friends request you to be there for something important or a milestone like the first day of school. When you are always early to work and stay late, being an hour late every once in a while to celebrate and become part of the memories those you love will look back on and remember, is well worth it. It's the right thing to do and it's one more step in the right direction by leading by example and Modeling the Way.
