Just like many before it, this past Sunday was a beautiful day. Taking advantage of a day off from work and school and with a sky full of sunshine, I found myself in a cemetery in south Salt Lake at the gravesite of my grandfather.
My grandpa, Julian Lowe, was an exceptional man. He served in WWII, worked for his country in his professional life and excelled in any church or civil assignment he was given. Above all, Grandpa Lowe was a dedicated father, grandfather and friend. He was trusted and respected. He was loyal and full of integrity. He was faithful and loving.
Visiting his gravesite gave me an opportunity to reflect on his life, his attributes and what made him the man that he was. I had a chance to evaluate my life and see areas for improvement to become a fraction of the man that he lived to be. The truth is, we all need moments like these to sit or stand or kneel or lay and think. Taking time for ourselves helps us learn who we are and is SO important in this fast paced day-in-age.
As Voltaire said, "No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking."
Think about that :)
