As you go back to work, don't...

As you go back to work today, don't forget to take a moment to enjoy the journey. If you're like me you're all too often focused on the destination. Last year I quietly made a new year's resolution to myself to change that. And in a simple way I did. I took photos on my walk to work as often as I could. Below are the results. Most are simply snaps of Boston's back bay, streets and parks using just my iPhone. A few were taken from planes or trains on trips to various events I spoke at. All however are reminders that at some point last year, I stopped to enjoy my journey. May this inspire you to do the same for yourself in 2019! Happy New Year!
