My TeleVision Broke and My Vision Improved
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Look at the relationship between today’s quote and the personal e-mail sent by John about his broken Television.Â
Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. — Harold B. Melchart
Good Morning Kirk,
I hope that all is well. We met last March in Nashville. You made a positive impression on me. Since then I have gone through a transformation of my own. I left my position with Ernst & Young. It has been a nice quality of life adjustment.Â
I wish you and your family the best. I could not help but write the following as the television in my house recently broke, it has made all the difference.
My Television Broke  ~ My television broke yesterday or was it the day before. The emptiness that I have felt has been replaced by the love and understanding for my family. Forgotten are the shallow exploits of Madison Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard creatively replaced by the land of make believe and the world of pretend starring my son and I.  My son shared with me that he likes to make his baby sister laugh by touching his nose and that he wants to grow up strong like his dad as he touches my heart. Amazing just how sensitive and insightful this little man of 3 can be, if only we would see.  So fortunate we are to have connected to the life that beautifully exists around us and so very thankful that our television broke yesterday, or was it the day before.
John W.
