Happy winter 2024, mind

Winter began yesterday. Let’s think about how we traditionally spend our winters…

Ever think of yourself as a script writer?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

Let’s assume a few things:

  1. Scripts are intentionally written
  2. Scripts are followed for best results with the writer’s vision
  3. Working without a script is improvisation
  4. Working without a script is working without a vision

We become what we think about.

Intentionally or unintentionally.

Can you imagine the difference between the two approaches?

Port Canaveral return 7am, mind

cruise ship daily event board
Keep on keeping on with the fun.

Christmas is days away.

Your best thoughts — how far away are they?

Sea Day #3, mind

Cruise ship day event poster
Fun day, final day at sea.

Final day onboard.

A long slow cruise back to Port Canaveral.

One week can fly by.

Before leaving home for the trip, a week away seemed long. Being on the ship a week, time seems short.

Grand Turk 7am-4pm, mind

Cruise ship daily calendar poster
Another great day for a great day.
Island sunrise from cruise ship deck
First look. We gained an hour so what i thought was 6:50am is really 5:50am plenty early for sunrise today.

Surprise and delight yourself.

Why?

Simple math.

You strive to do it for everyone else.

Make sure you’re in the daily equation.

Amber Cove 9am-6pm, mind

Sun and ocean
Late to the sunrise. Why? Unknowingly, we gained an hour crossing into a new time zone. So when i went to deck 17 at 650am, it was really 750am (pictured here).
15-second video: The sun, ocean, and mountains are obvious headliners. The Moon, not so much.

Being on a cruise ship is not a goal for me.

A cruise is nice. How can it not be?

But it’s not something i wish for nor dream of.

As we spend time on our little private deck area, had a revelation.

You can tell the colder climate guests by the way they chase the sun.

The warmer climate guests (us) chase the shade. Even in December.
