Self-reflection harvest

Our back porch is my most favorite place to visit in the world. Our front porch is second. Glacier, WDW, and Sanibel are a three-way tie for third favorite place to visit.

The harvest from the past few days’ self-reflection reminds me of several critical personal values and behaviors.

  • Patience – never lose it
  • Anger – never let it happen
  • Hate – never allow room for it in your heart
  • Surrender – habitually discern what’s outside your control
  • Forgiveness – God’s amazing Grace
  • Honesty – never have to look over your shoulder
  • Leadership – you are CEO of You, Inc
  • Role Model – your life is your message

After the writing yesterday’s posts, an aha-moment. The moment is driven by the Lakeside Church service i’m about to walk to.

How do i say something valuable and forward-thinking to Pastor Chuck and Pastor Russ?

Will encounter them both within the next 90 minutes.

One week from today

HOA meeting posted at subdivision entrance
Bi-annual meetings need to be advertised 10 days in advance. This sign’s posting exceeded the minimum notice by four days. The meetings are the same Sundays every year. Technically unofficially, there should be no need to announce the meetings.

One week from today is the first of two annual 2022 Homeowner’s Association meetings. The February meeting includes election of Four Board of Directors Officers:

  1. President
  2. Vice President
  3. Treasurer
  4. Secretary

What will this meeting hold for us residents?

A predicable dysfunctional show? Adults behaving with emotionally irrational behaviors, like Middle School students?

Probably.

Falling ahead

Roadway signs
The other day, running an errand.
welcome to Flagler Beach sign
Meeting location is one mile from the beach. Started driving home after meeting but did a U-turn for the beach. How could you not?

The opposite of falling behind is falling ahead.

Imagine being ahead of your to-do list, not falling behind.

Imagine having enough organization and self-control to simplify your life’s daily structure and processes to a point where unexpected things don’t overwhelm you.

Imagine how your attitude benefits.

Optimistic or fatalistic

Not a video. Happy present moment has greater meaning when seen from this context.

Optimistic or fatalistic?
