We > Me

This thought has sat heavy on me recently.

I thought on it as I walked into my office today.

We > Me.

I thought on this as I had a long drive this week with just my wife and I.

We > Me.

And as I created new inside jokes with my girls this weekend, I had a misty-eyed moment….

We > Me.

Deep and Wide

Wide is quite easy to achieve today.

With the right amount of social creatine, your reach can be awfully wide, but it may feel like this.
