The Law of Oscillation. Simply stated, it’s about the recurring changes that happen which can be measured in waves over time. In nature, science, or even music, the graph above might help us make sense of it. But in real life, it takes a lot more to try make sense of why nothing stays the same, and why there are continued high points followed by low points. When those high points happen, we are excited and want them to never end. But eventually they do, and when those low points happen, we think they will never end. But they will end, just not as quickly as we may want them to.

When we find ourselves at either the highs or the lows in life, we need to realize that the one helps us in the other. We need to guard ourselves from putting our hope in the pinnacle of the waves, but also from putting our despair in the bottom of the waves. We are well-served when we remember the low points because they keep us grounded in the high points, and conversely, we are steadied with hope in the low points when we recall the high ones that we’ve experienced.

I celebrate the high points, and rightly so, especially when I feel like I’ve finally reached a point I’ve been striving towards, whether that’s in my faith, friendships, job, or even physical health. When those downturns happen, and they always do, I find strength to press on through them from what I’ve learned and received during the heights. And in the same way, I learn so much during the depths about myself, others, and life that make the return to the good times even sweeter. So don’t lose heart, wherever you might be at right now, change is sure to come, and when it does, take it in light of the bigger story that is playing out.

Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings and the recruitment, control, and use of people for their bodies and for their labor. Through force, fraud, and coercion, people everywhere are being bought and sold against their will–right now in the 21st century. A21 works to end human trafficking around the world, corroborating together with many different organizations and law enforcement. Find out more by clicking A21 Campaign.

Take Your Kids To Work Day

On April 24th we had a few special guests on site to learn more about what their parents (and grandparents/uncles/aunts) do at work and what Tri County Air is all about. Victoria & Barbie created a fun experience that was also informative and rewarding for all who participated! Thanks to all those who helped explain the various functions that make this a great place to work!

What Our Customers Are Saying

Q1 Mission Moment Recognition

Out of all the recognitions for employees living out the values day to day in the midst of their work, the Directors selected one that helped represent all of them. Taylor Carpenter embodied both Caring & Service Excellence when he went to a recent widow’s home after work to help her get connected with her wifi since her husband had always handled that, and she was at a loss. He’s such a servant to all of us with our IT needs, so it was a true embodiment of our mission of comforting others when he helped someone outside of work. He says his grey shirt is his secret sauce to great service, but we kinda think its goes deeper than that. As a reminder, a representative is selected from all the nominations throughout each quarter, receives $100, and is in the running for a $500 award at the end of the year. Congratulations, Taylor!

From The Hart

Have you heard about Negativity Bias? Our brains are wired to hold on to negative experiences or words much longer than positive ones. Think about it, the words that were said in a condemning or belittling manner towards you, even when you were very young, still carry a weight with them to this day. Some things may have been said in the moment, either in jest or with malice, but they go way beyond the moment deep into our psyche, and into our hearts. And the wound can fester if left unattended.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the impact my words can have on others. I can often say things that have unintended consequences, and the place to address it is at the source. I want to be more cognizant of the environment around me, and how fitting my words may or may not be in the moment. I cringe to think of all the times that a careless word or expression on my part has pierced the heart of another. I want to be more appropriate with my words, in a way that builds up others rather than tears down. I desire to be more generous with compliments and praises, and more stingy with criticisms and complaints.

It is said that it takes five to nine positive comments to offset the impact of one negative one in the workplace. I’m pretty sure I’m not at that ratio, but I want to have my mouth be an overwhelming spring of life-giving encouragement to others, so that when the critique or complaints come, they are properly received and responded to accordingly. I’m growing in this, and invite you to grow in it, too. And maybe, just maybe, we can create an environment where we all flourish together in a way that serves us all, individually, and as a company.
