Correcting Word Press calendar post tallies

blog calendar — Word Press calendar. Every month should have a minimum number that matches the number of days in a month.

Writing 200+- blog posts the past 48 hours has been taxing.

But i’ve been motivated to correct a flaw.

The flaw is in the Word Press monthly calendar post tallies.

About 18 months after i began writing five daily, differently-themed posts, i decided to go back and review everything i wrote and did one of three things:

Left the post untouched
Revised the post to remove any sound of Disney or Disney Institute “official voice”
Deleted the post

This was an over-focusing on a worst-case scenario.

Worst case is someone over-reacting to something you made public.

Important to remember in 2008-2011+ blogging was literally the new “wild frontier” – uncharted wilderness.

In the absence of an official Disney and Disney Institute social media policy, everything was up for subjective review.

Subjective is not the way to measure.

By over-focusing, i slept well at night.

Two ways of looking at Christmas (or everything)

Two ways of looking at Christmas (or everything).

Same words.

Different focus.

This is what our life looks like to outsiders.

Pick one way to see things.

Merry Christmas.

Happy present moment.

Classic rethinking, reprioritizing and recommitting

delivering food for families — Yesterday 8:00am, Thanksgiving Day 2017, at Ocoee High School.

What began as a yet-to-be Father’s vision to do something to give back to those less fortunate – as a Family (with children) – has continued for 18 years.

Cheryl was not yet pregnant with our Son when we first volunteered on Thanksgiving 1999.

Miraculously – and at the time we didn’t know – Cheryl was pregnant when we returned a month later for Christmas Day deliveries.

And even on Easter 2000, we were still four months away from our Son’s birth.

The odds of us doing this three times a year, for 18 consecutive years, was a long-shot at best.

Something about serving less fortunate neighbors on days when American tradition has us focus on our own Families – this felt like something worth starting.

As we struggled to become parents from 1992 – 2000, we began shedding things that no longer served us.

Classic rethinking, reprioritizing and recommitting.

What stops any of us?

Disney Speakers office — Reminds me how different this office looked a year ago. Photo from my office yesterday.

What stops any of us from living like every day is Thanksgiving?

The media?

Tradition?

What then?

PS. Happy (official) Thanksgiving Day.

Trash can photos from three different iPhones

All three photos share the same denominators:

All taken with iPhone.
All taken at strongest camera zoom.
All had two trash cans centered in the scene.

Easy to see which camera is the most powerful.
