First time for everything

Nursing home room
The floor pad next to the recliner chair at 5:00AM.

 

Volunteered to spend the night in Cedarbrook’s D221B room.

While this happened, Americans set their clocks back one hour.

Today is November 5, 2017.

Eight hours of sleep with a couple waking moments as Nurses performed their overnight duties.

i’d never slept on the floor at the bedside of a Nursing Home resident until last night/this morning.

And yesterday’s funeral service for my 91-year old Father-In-Law was a beautiful Earthly send off to a Heavenly and Eternal resting place.

It always gets harder before it gets easier

Walking back from lunch yesterday, just wanted to see if there was anything new.

Lots of choices.

 

It always gets harder before it gets easier.

Embracing this is the best way i’ve found to keep going.

The classic, “This too shall pass.”

Being a business owner for eight years, the stakes are higher as word gets out. By the way, the first six years i was quietly building and intentionally not telling anyone. Not until i retired from Disney did i go public with my business. That was only 19 months ago.

Business books offer advice to help entrepreneurs, but there is something about real life experience books can’t even begin to explain.

Note to self: There are prudent legal issues that will need to be addressed as your business grows.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

It’s called the mystery of Faith for a reason. None of it can be proven, except the part where it works for people who believe in it.

So yeah, totally mystery.

Allentown

Quote about farmers
Most of Allentown was once utilized by Farmers.

 

Packing light is a metaphor for traveling through life. A heavy load is harder to carry.

In a few hours we’ll be in Allentown.  Four days to visit and witness Cheryl’s second cousin, Joshua, receive his Eagle Scout award.

Packing light.

Expecting the visit to be glorious.

Faith is more elusive than hope

Had hoped for the final Sanibel sunset to be spectacular last night.

Stormy weather is common during Florida Summer afternoons. Sometimes this extends into the evening. Last night was one of those nights. But just to be sure, i walked down to the beach to double check. The first photo convinced me there would be no decent sunset. The second proved me wrong.

 

Sanibel sunset
Last night at 7:30pm.

Last night at 8:20pm.

 

Faith and hope are pretty cool.

Hope is easier to have.

Faith is the tough one.

We can control our hope, but faith is tested by the things we can’t control.

Glorious news…

Finally received notification yesterday that our first choice (of three) for High School is confirmed.
