Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Taking the day off from blogging.
Hmmm…

Seriously though, this morning was so busy i knew it’d be somewhere before bedtime before i’d get back to the keyboard to type today’s posts.

Time flies.
Please be careful.
Seems like yesterday we still had two full weeks before heading to Paris.
Now today, we’re just five days away from going to Orlando International Airport.

Aging.
Advantage or disadvantage?
Like i’ve always said since becoming a professional speaker (1999, at Disney Institute) and having classroom Guests ask questions…
It depends.
Depends on what?
In case it’s not obvious to adults, professionals, leaders (and it rarely is), from my extensive classroom experience, it ALWAYS “depends”.
It’s simple.
You absolutely need…
Context.
Every question has to have context.
HAS TO!
How can it not?
Aging is cool?
Yes.
Let me give you context on today’s next four blogs.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.
When i write, i’m talking to someone specific.
Namely, me.
You and mom are the ripple-effect, potential beneficiaries.
Yet for many people who blog, they are solely trying to make a living, so they’re talking only to potential customers. No harm, no foul.
But for an ordinary person like me, i’m talking to myself, Mom, and you.
Love.
All around.
Blogging’s blessing of love is mostly a solitary effort. Yet it can be freely shared. That is a writer’s distant hope. That love falls on loving ears.
The modest insight may bloom. It may not. If or when other loved ones read the writer’s thoughts, observations, insights, and musings, magic may happen.

One day it will.
Will what?
One day will come.
And it reminds me of a Garth Brooks song…
If Tomorrow Never Comes.
Chapin, on this day, April 11, 2026, if tomorrow never comes, you absolutely need to know this…
i could never be more proud to be your father.
You are extraordinary.
i am more proud of who you are, how you think, and what you’ll become than anything else i’ve witnessed in 67 years.
Note: These posts will publish June 11, 2026.
