The juxtoposition is stunning

Mitchell's Sandcastles Breakers Cabin
Before sunrise yesterday getting ready for 8am departure for WDW.

 

From a cottage on Florida’s Sanibel Island to a cabin in Montana’s Glacier National Park, within 48 hours.

The juxtaposition is stunning.

From one beautiful place to another.

Same thing happens in life except it’s roughly 48 years between the juxtaposition of youth and middle age.

Stunningly beautiful?

Faith is more elusive than hope

Had hoped for the final Sanibel sunset to be spectacular last night.

Stormy weather is common during Florida Summer afternoons. Sometimes this extends into the evening. Last night was one of those nights. But just to be sure, i walked down to the beach to double check. The first photo convinced me there would be no decent sunset. The second proved me wrong.

Faith and hope are pretty cool.

Hope is easier to have.

Faith is the tough one.

We can control our hope, but faith is tested by the things we can’t control.

Glorious news…

Finally received notification yesterday that our first choice (of three) for High School is confirmed.

The value of yesterday

Orlando Based Disney Motivational Speaker
Yesterday from photographer Raul Colon.

 

The value of our yesterday is often below our conscious thought because we are generally very busy keeping up with the fast pace of life. Being busy becomes a deeply embedded habit and dramatically inhibits living consciously.

This is the main reason why i chose to continue writing five daily, differently-themed blogs after the 100-day challenge was officially completed.

Daily writing, or journaling, in solitude before the day gets busy, grounds us in a way nothing else comes close to. And now it’s been over 2,200 consecutive days.

PS. Yesterday was amazing.

Simple gets over run by two never-ending tasks

Sanibel Island Sunset
First photo of yesterday’s Sanibel sunset.

 

The photo above was taken about half an hour before sunset.

As we age, and get further along in our career, many of the simple things that used to fill us with awe and wonder are replaced with deadlines and decisions.

Going to the beach is the mental equivalent to going to the hospital emergency room.
