Question

I had arrived at the airport about 30 minutes before the check-in. It had been a very busy three days for me with lots of meetings. So I was to have the extra time to make my notes on what I needed to do the day. But then the announcement that my flight had to be delayed there was a problem with the plane.

As I sat waiting for my flight I reflected on my last meeting of the day. It was not a business meeting rather a very enjoyable lunch with an old business friend I had not seen for over 12 years. Our lunch was spent recalling times as well as filling each other in on what in our lives over the last 12 years. We both laughed and smiled as we recalled the good times and the great we had shared together. At the end of our time together, we both said we had enjoyed it and we must do it again.

It was great to have this additional time to in my mind all that we had talked about. I realized just how important it is to have regular of the good times in your life. I was lucky enough to the chance to take a short break and reflect on the good things that had happened in my life over 12 years.

It was like looking at an old photo album stored away in a cupboard in your house. There before your eyes are lots of wonderful memories that you back to times and places, and most importantly those people who are in the photos.

My flight was finally called three hours later. I smiled as I boarded the plane and realized that I was upset about the delay in the flight，as I had been able to spend the time on the good times from days gone by．
