Wedding Anniversary Reflection

 

Today marked an important family milestone. It was our wedding anniversary. After the big celebration of a milestone year last time around, this one was a little more low-key. That didn’t lessen its meaning though. In fact, the quieter tone lent itself to reflection and appreciation. We marked it with a walk along the seafront, a relaxed pub meal, and a glass of wine. Nothing extravagant. We just time spent together.

 

Earlier in the day, I had a brunch meeting with a new contact. It was one of those exploratory conversations to build connection and see how we might support each other’s work going forward. It was an easy, enjoyable chat and a reminder of how important it is to stay open to new relationships, especially those built on mutual curiosity and shared values.

 

There were a few house admin bits to work through, as always. Life doesn’t pause, even on anniversaries. Interestingly, the press-up challenge felt a little easier today. Not dramatically, but enough to notice. Perhaps the compound effect is beginning to do its thing. A small, subtle win.

 

Key Lessons of the Day

 

Celebration doesn’t always need fanfare. Stillness and simplicity can be just as meaningful. New connections are seeds. Some may bloom into great opportunities. Stay curious. Change often starts with tiny steps. Keep showing up, even on the quiet days.
