While my routine is far from ideal, I do go to the gym almost every day, and always there for dinners, and school events.\u00a0 Doctor appointments?\u00a0 Well, I am getting better at that.<\/p>\n<p>The result is that I have a lot more energy than I ever did before.\u00a0 Taking care of my health and spending time with my family has put more things in perspective.\u00a0 My problems at work have become easier to solve \u2013 mainly because I give my subconscious a chance to work on them and not dwell on the small things as much as I used to.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0As I write this, I am on vacation in Tahoe skiing.\u00a0 Spending time outdoors with the family and reflecting on my last decade has indeed been very insightful and rewarding. \u00a0It has been a transformative decade for me, with some great lessons learned.\u00a0 I am looking forward to the journey ahead. I hope you will all take some time to be with your families and reflect \u2013 and perhaps come up with your own to 10 lists.\u00a0 I would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>When we wake up tomorrow \u2026 it will be 1\/1\/11!
