We&#8217;re not catholic, but it&#8217;s a good day to start some sort of commitment by giving something up for lent. You can also do something like tell yourself, I&#8217;m going to do something nice for someone each day. It can be as simple as complimenting someone, let&#8217;s say your spouse, each day! You get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ty&#8217;s off to work. This is his eighth day in a row! He&#8217;s also been to the gym every day and is on a strict diet. We&#8217;re so proud of him as it&#8217;s also 8 days without a drop of alcohol! That&#8217;s hard in itself. Lori works in Vail today. No real snow up here, a little in Vail and on the Pass, but nothing like forecasted. It could still come today, we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots going on at work. I&#8217;m hiring two new people, and April 1st will be letting two long time employees go. One&#8217;s been with me over 20 years and the other 13 years. It won&#8217;t be easy but is necessary as the industry has changed and they no longer fit the needs of the Company. It&#8217;ll be a tough day, but being a leader sometimes requires tough decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost 7am now so time to get going. Have a great day and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>40 days until Easter.
