As a kid I vividly remember my Dad turning 40. I was sad because I figured he was so old that I had to make every moment with him count – because these were his last days! (Spoiler alert: He is in his 80’s and doing great.)
Now that I’m in the second half of a century, I’ve got a few observations that are new to me:
- Finding hair on the back of my ears.
- It’s an adventure to put on socks and shoes.
- Hair is getting “lighter.”
- 50% chance I call my kids the right name.
- I have a PhD in supplements.
- Shakes are for breakfast not dessert.
- What did you say?
- Going on walks by choice.
- Stretching is non negotiable.
- Buying Advil in bulk.
- “Cheaters” are helpful.
- Awake at 5am.
- Groaning is my second language.
What did I miss?
Gratefully,
Spence (September 2024)
One day back in 2022, Spencer said in a staff meeting, “I want to think of a way to make billing a little nicer for our clients. Nobody likes to open a bill, especially for architectural services.” And thus, Spencerisms were born. That’s an internal name we initially gave these short notes Spencer writes to our clients each month, if they receive a bill. The name stuck, only because we couldn’t think of anything else that fit. We hope you’ll enjoy these bits of encouragement (or simple thoughts) Spencer shares each month.
