And just like that the first month of 2020 is behind us.  I like much of the internet felt like January lasted forever.  But in the same breath I can’t believe it’s February!

As I flipped to a new month, I couldn’t help but feel like – okay, now it’s time to really get down to business.  January offers a bit of a leeway to ease into things, but by February it’s time to get serious.  So much so, I finally took down my Christmas tree this weekend!  I had taken down the decorations at the start of January, but the light of the tree at night wasn’t something I was ready to part with. February’s arrival made it feel like it was time. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I am the furthest thing from what you would call a sports fan.  But like the rest of world I am absolutely heart-broken about the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 7 others over the weekend.  While I may not totally understand all his accomplishments on the court, and there are many, I am immensely inspired by his total commitment to excellence and mental resiliency.  Gone far too soon, and like so many have said a stark reminder about how short and precious life is.

I could have easily filled today’s entire Tuesday 10 with links sharing just how incredible Kobe Bryant was, but I know that’s not what you’re here for.  So I’ve only included one 🙂
