Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 474 of our trek, and today is Motivation Monday. Every Monday we hike the trails of life that will encourage and motivate you to live a rich and satisfying life this week. Today let us explore the trail called “20 Truths About Life.”
We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. It was a great weekend of outdoor work, indoor clean up, and most importantly, several hours with four of our grandchildren on Saturday. Any time we can invest time with our kids and grandkids is always a blessed time. We all need to realize that time is the only truly valuable asset in our lives.
