Good morning DC

Airport sign about being fearless
Forget about what the world needs for a minute – what do YOU need?

 

Let me start by sharing that daily writing is exceptionally cathartic.

Good morning DC.

i’m not here because i want to be, i’m here because i’m doing a favor for a friend.

No harm, no foul.

He’s the CIO of the 5th largest medical (in their specialty) practice in the United States.

He recommended me to his CEO and the CEO wants me to meet the top eight executives and provide a one-hour executive overview.

As a small business entrepreneur, time is precious. Investing time usually has an economic outcome. This one has potential, but doesn’t come with a guarantee.

The remaining four posts today will continue this train of thought.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

i remember being grossly inadequate with this simple task

Orlando sunrise
Yesterday, like every other morning.

 

One simple way to celebrate midlife is to watch as many sunrises and sunsets as possible.

When i’m not traveling, i don’t miss a single sunrise.

Writing for two hours every morning has enabled this phenomenon.

In two short weeks, year seven comes to an end.

Insight: Impossible only is until it isn’t.

Sunny with a chance of optimism

Cinderella Castle
Ran to Disney’s Magic Kingdom yesterday.

 

Sunny with a chance of optimism.

 

Wrote the first book in 2013.

While i am an optimist, it’s not a book about optimism.

What if we took a road trip?

Great observation
From LinkedIn yesterday.

 

In the pursuit of the unknown there’s a default solution we used to take back in college…

What if we took a road trip?

That feeling when it feels right to try a tried and true, but long abandoned strategy.

Two of my college buddies retired at 55.

That makes three of us from the group of 36.

Rick and JD would be great thought partners.

Time for a road trip?

Glacier National Park, see ya real soon.

i listened for something elusive

quote about struggle
From someone’s Facebook update a few months ago.

 

i listened for silence.

But heard none.

After several decades, i listened again.

And heard it.

That began an ongoing midlife celebration.
