Sorry Jack. I Love You.
Sarah and I returned from our "date day". We have a weekly date night, but this was a full "date day", very refreshing. Had a fabulous sushi lunch with Peter Marshall and Trilby Jeeves, then Mondo Gelato's for ice cream.
Our evening plans included dinner at my favorite restaurant, Banana Leaf, then to a theatre play at the Granville Island Stage, showcasing "Tuesdays With Morrie". Tickets were a Christmas gift from Sarah.
I love the book "Tuesdays With Morrie". Experiencing it and seeing it come to life on stage was brilliant. Emotional, inspiring, motivating. I cried quietly in my seat at the end of Act 1. "Morrie" reminded me of my old friend, Jack Burket. Funny, witty, always joking, very wise, but Jack Burket died of cancer earlier this year.
In the lobby, the crew had placed a "Who Is The Morrie In Your Life?" board. Below is a photo of the board and the card I wrote and stuck on it.
This night has been life-changing, mind-altering. I could've been a "Mitch" for my own "Morrie" but I opted out. I did not make a friend a priority, did not visit him often, and now it's too late. This bites!
I recommend you see the production if you have the opportunity. Definitely read the book.
Re-learnt and refreshed many important life lessons tonight, which will be transparent in my personal and business life, starting today.
Who is the Morrie in your life? Instead of waiting, why don't you share with them today, this moment, what you would say to them if this is the last day you'll ever see them again.
And to all my friends & colleagues, here at my blog, on Facebook and Twitter - thank you. I appreciate you.
