Continued from February 24…
By the time I entered the world I had no clue what my grandparents had endured as they had turned a major setback into a huge setup for future generations of Meyer’s.
Upon my Dad’s graduation from high school he enlisted in the Army. His dad had served our country in the Navy and I’m assuming my dad viewed his own enlistment simply as an obligation and responsibility.  It was a priority for him. This attitude was not unique to my dad and it was passed on to him by his parents who were a part of “The Greatest Generation.”
There were no entitlements in those days, but there were plenty of responsibilities. Experiencing World War II as a teenager and serving during the Korean Conflict forever shaped and built the man I call Dad today.
When he got out of the Army he went to work for Dayton Power and Light where he became a leader lineman. It would be the only job he ever had. He retired from DP&L in 1986 and then served until he was 86 years old (five terms) as a trustee for our local township.  To this day my dad has never been afraid of work.
More to follow tomorrow…
We are in the “priorities phase” of building our life playing field.
Your priorities are key components of the boundaries of your life playing field.
What are your priorities?
List them in order of importance.
When you look at your priorities, do the activities of your day properly represent them?
P.E.A.C.E.
