If only, mentally

Disney classroom display
If you love and admire what Disney produces, why would you not try to replicate excellence in your own life?

Whatever “if only” narrative you have about your attitude, ensure it includes (fill in the blank).

For me it includes “if only i can always think positively, no matter what.”

Attitude and Altitude look similar

Tee shirt from National Park
GNP t-shirt shop. Year unknown.

The shirt above tricks me every time into seeing attitude.

But it doesn’t say attitude.

It says something definition-wise isn’t even close.

Isn’t it fascinating how a simple change, one “t” to an “l” and you have, for example, the Continental Divide.

Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow

College graduation scatters friends like the wind.

Still in touch with your childhood, high school, and/or college friends?

The more experience i get through the years, the more convinced i am that a short list of great friends is the intentional way to age with like-minded people. People who know your past and you know theirs, especially in our formative years.

Priceless to have people still like you after all the crazy things you’ve done, many of them together.

Attitude watcher

Social media post about the four laws
Seems legit.

Mental vibrancy, and other important results, take longer than expected for two reasons:

  1. Old habits are challenging to break/rewire.
  2. Slow progress makes you lose focus and allows you to dance with quitting.

Smile reprise

Shirtless man next to a Iowa Hawkeye statue
Warm enough to sweat without a shirt. University of Iowa.

Felt great to saddle up yesterday and blog without using quotes.

Makes me smile.

Been taking pictures since receiving that first camera as a child. Received a free plastic camera. Our gas station had a promotion that you could get a free camera with a fill up.

Makes me smile.

Note: There’s a chance you had to buy it for a nominal fee but it was like 60 years ago, can’t recall.

Photos are stored in three places. This is an example of having a backup for the backup.

This too makes me smile.

One of those storage places sends a daily “on this day” photo memory sample. Many of the past week or so photos are from this random feed. Today is an example.

More smiling.
