Keep Me in the Moment - CIT Signature Transportation

Hmm. I am sensing a trend. 2 months in between my newsletter sends. The undone task weighs heavy on my mind, but I do need to take care of first things first. – your trips. I am also getting better at protecting moments at home. Then, there is a whole new sourdough journey I will discuss some other time. If you know, you know.

Singing, oh Lord, keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me
Singing, oh Lord, show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me
Keep me in the moment
Oh, keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me

Jerry Kjer was a co-founder of Central Iowa Transit (CIT). He was John’s uncle, mentor, and friend. In John’s semi-retired status, he was able to be present for many moments of Jerry’s last days. I have linked how CIT began, with Jerry below. It is a fun story.

Get to Know Us- Part 1 of Our Story

I am a scrapbooker, but in trying to be more in the moment, I have not taken many pictures in recent years. Attending a funeral and realizing you do not have any current pictures with the deceased sets a reality. Pictures need to be taken to help remember the moment. In fact, as Danielle was making fun of all the pictures I have stored in Google, John and I could tell the story behind each one with joy. So, be in the moment, but take the pictures!

United Motorcoach Association DC Fly-In

John, Jeremy, and Jeremiah attended UMA’s Expo in Oklahoma City in February. Sessions on safety, maintenance, and visiting with many vendors topped their list. In the picture above is Jeff Rogers, a good friend of ours from Houston.

John took Danielle with him for her first industry fly-in to advocate for the motorcoach industry. With a family of 5, John realized this was the first extended period of time he was one-on-one with Danielle. They had many fun moments, even a delayed flight that took them driving to PA to catch a plane home was part of a memorable moment.

As for the fly-in itself, Danielle stated she needed 5 cups of coffee to keep up with the pace of taking care of issues.

Iowa

Danielle attended the iLEAD conference in Mason City. Her number one take-away was being able to make connections and visit local spots in Iowa she would not have experienced on her own. Go explore! Create more moments!
