It was a hard lesson to grasp and it was even harder to live.

Like you, there are many who have lived through it and understand the difficulty quite well.

Thank you for always reading and paying attention.

“It is impossible to plug today’s wisdom into yesterday’s choices.” This hits very hard. There are so many things I wish I could have done differently, and I probably dwell on them way too much. It’s good to know that you can still change your direction and become someone you maybe always wanted to be. Thank you!

Dear Lynne, all of your stories have been special touching different emotions in all of us. This one may very well be the zenith. You found a way to take your dad’s farming practice and relate it to one of life’s most difficult but necessary lessons. Some things must take their course before we can move on, come to terms or recover. Having been there with you during a portion of your professional ascent, I can relate to the great insights you’ve presented here. Beautifully written, poignant. Bravo.

I so relate to your intentional efforts to succeed beyond the small town in which you grew up. I’ve never heard it better said that it’s a fire that can’t be extinguished but must burn itself out. Thank you, once again, for your on point reflections.

Wow…how similar yet diverse the trajectory of our lives took us…from innocent future dreams to the realization of life’s disappointments. Somehow our choices end up where we are now…. content and satisfied. Beautiful.
