It’s been a long and crazy ride since June 21, 2013 when Lindy Ruff was hired as head coach of the Dallas Stars. But it was definitely an adventurous one with plenty to follow and experience.
Take a second and think about all that has happened to you in the past 24 hours. What about the past week? Month? Three months?
Chances are there are plenty of noteworthy things that come to mind from your everyday life. Maybe you got a promotion or moved into a new house. Maybe you welcomed in a new member of the family.
Whatever the case may be, something big has more than likely happened to you in the recent past.
But can you think back to the big things that have happened to you over the past four years? Your list is probably either a mile long or has a good number of blanks on it. That’s perfectly alright because four years is a very long time.
