Well, maybe not in the same context as the Lion King, but nonetheless, it was a \u201ccircle of life\u201d moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a\/>Close to a year ago, I accepted the clerk position in our township in addition to being treasurer. Years ago, my mother-in-law was also the township clerk in the same township as we lived only a mile apart. When you accept these positions, you inherit all sorts of historical documents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Looking through some of the township documents, I literally stopped in my footsteps when I read the handwritten minutes from the 1990s. You guessed it. They were written by my mother-in-law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The handwriting was exquisite, and my mother also had beautiful handwriting. (In my opinion, handwriting is a lost art.) So, as I am writing minutes from our meeting last night in the SAME notebook she wrote in years ago, I stopped and took the time to feel the connection and thinking how cool is this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">My second story from yesterday is my granddaughter plays viola in the high school orchestra. Viola is not a common instrument\u2013not like the violin or cello. My connection is I also played the viola in the high school orchestra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Same school. Same stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">50 years apart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Wow. We probably all have moments like this at some point in our lives. Take the time for these moments and feel the connection.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?resize=1024%2C709&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?resize=1024%2C709&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?resize=300%2C208&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?resize=768%2C532&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1064&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mnfarmliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Image-2-24-25-at-10.01%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg?w=1652&amp;ssl=1 1652w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have all heard the saying Circle of Life.
