Yesterday was busy, but I managed to squeeze in a few quick miles before it got too dark with the sun starting to set. In retrospect, I am grateful that I prioritized taking the time to get out and recharge. The air was cool and crisp with a hint of the approaching autumn. About a half-mile from home on my route, I noticed a heron by the rocky shoreline of a pond, perfectly reflected in the still water. A chance encounter that I captured in the above photograph. To me, the scene had something of a Zen-like quality which got me thinking about a couple of quotes.

Advice worth contemplating for both the personal and professional aspects of one's life.
