Hope Returns – Time to be Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving
An attitude of gratitude this season as I take a glimpse in the rearview mirror.

Recently, I’ve been reflecting on 4 years ago. It is mostly related to how I feel today. Why am I tired? Why do my mornings feel rushed? Why am a staying up late to get peace and quiet? 

The answer to all of the above is that life is finally feeling more like 2019 and less like the climb back in 2020-2022. (We won’t talk about how I am 5 years older now……) 

I always had hope, but it is nice to look back now and think, “See. I told you it would be alright. There is a new sun breaking.” 

Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night
Like a whisper saying, “It’ll be alright”
I know you’re tired, I know it hurts
But hold on, that’s when hope returns
And that’s when hope returns

CIT Signature Transportation

Iowa IS a destination state. I wrote the article below for the American Bus Association, discussing how collaboration will bring Iowa further into the tourism spotlight. It is a 3-5 minute read.

Transit Bus

We have a diverse fleet to meet your needs.

Our transit buses have 38 seats and can have 25 standees for a total capacity of 63 passengers.

The sign can be programmed for your event.

All of them are ADA- accessible.

Dual doors allow for quick unloading.

These vehicles are great for in-town shuttles and efficiently moving large groups of people. (Example: hotel to venue)

Danielle and I had a fun time in Iowa City last week. We heard about exciting developments for Iowa tourism and had fun seeing Iowa City from a new perspective.

When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground
When your heart is asking, “What do I do now?”
Just when you think it can’t get worse
Hold on, that’s when hope returns

If you are feeling this way, give me a call. We can catch up, have a good laugh, and pretend to talk about transportation. I’d be happy to be your sunshine on a rainy day. 

Smiles,

Sometimes a look in the rearview mirror is extra nice. Just be sure to take a quick glance. The road ahead is even better.
