March 2026 brought unexpected churn in the team and a surprise hernia surgery, a reminder that life rarely follows the neat version of the plan.
March 2026 has been one of those months that refused to follow any script.
There was churn in the team. There was uncertainty where I expected rhythm. And then, in the middle of it all, came a surprise hernia surgery, the kind of event that immediately rearranges your priorities and your perspective.
It is strange how quickly life can change direction. You begin a month thinking about plans, momentum, execution, and progress. Then reality introduces a completely different agenda. Suddenly, what mattered yesterday gets replaced by much simpler things: health, recovery, stability, and the people who stand by you when things get messy.
Months like this remind me that control is often an illusion. We prepare, we plan, we optimize, and still life takes its own turns. The only real choice is how we respond when it does.
I am thankful for one thing above all: coming out of all of it safe. When a month ends with gratitude instead of regret, that already feels like a win.
