Almost 30 years ago in my first meeting with Bob Gary, then Executive Vice President of Generation and Mining for TXU, I noticed a quote on his desk. It was 29 words that changed my life:
“It’s what you do now when you don’t have to do anything that makes you what you want to be when it’s too late to do anything about it.”
I thought a lot about that quote, and I began to focus a good bit of my time investing effort toward future opportunities.
Gardening has been one of my passions for many years and I realize that I find my spiritual connection with a Higher Power during the hours I enjoy gardening in silence. Birds, squirrels, tiny chameleons, butterflies, red and blue dragon flies and other creatures delight me with their presence. It is a time of deep renewal and meditation as I become one with the soil and thrive on the joy of creating beauty that is ever changing.

"Ann McGee-Cooper teaches us that 'work' and 'drudgery' are not synonymous. She shows how a job can be a source of fellowship, zest, pride, fun, and individual expression. If we follow her precepts, we will return home refreshed, not jaded, and inspired rather than debilitated, at the end of our 'fun day,' not our 'work day.' We will also collectively be a more productive, competitive, and healthy society. I believe in what she says."
