Josh just started

Bob’s leadership as CEO since 2005 is remarkable and admirable.

Josh just started (March 18) his new role as our CEO.

He replaced Bob Iger.

Bob replaced Michael.

Michael replaced Ron Miller, Walt’s son-in-law.

Just now it’s sinking in that Cheryl and i have been led by remarkable and admirable leaders.

A true BFO.

Five big goodbyes

Five big goodbyes:

  1. Disney
  2. Blogging
  3. Glacier
  4. Work
  5. Family

Perhaps those five goodbyes are serendipitously chronological?

Will this day become memorable?

Age and youth collide

 

(photo: Not quite four, not quite 89. One learned to walk in the past couple years. For the other it’s impossible.)

A steady dose of, “Who cares?”

January 5, 2015. Will this day be remembered on April 15, 2015?

You know, the early morning part of saying goodbye to aging parents, the rental car return, the non-stop flight to Walt Disney World, the temperature change, the home inspection after being gone for 10 days?

Will the observations, conversations, fun, food, concerns, insights – will any of these matter in 100 days?

Is finding a creative, unique way to find joy an art form?

Art doesn’t have to be colorful or complex, but it does require thought

 

(note: little longer than normal post)

Our struggles are our friends, even if they do not seem so. As you read the struggle here, contemplate your own, and what will it take to inspire you to keep moving forward.

Struggling with writing 100 days ahead. Why? Because it’s weird. And yet at the same time, it feels like art.

Art is doing something differently than tradition. Or it can be doing tradition differently.

Perhaps you even do something remarkably.

In a way that others remark.

Compliments?

Complaints?

Doesn’t matter.

When things are done the way they have always been done, there is no conversation.

Today is the first day of Autumn and it’s the third day of the new year.

Does it even matter?

A resounding no – for almost everyone – for the herd.

Art?

To some, possibly.

What is our art?

It might be the way we live our life or the way we help others.

Pausing for a midlife moment of silence

Cruising day-to-day on auto-pilot?

 

Pausing for a midlife moment of silence. I’m writing this post 102 days before September 11. You’re reading it now on 9/11.

There’s something extraordinarily calming, stimulating, liberating, and educational about not going with traditional herd-mentality mass market hype saturation which surrounds big-time anniversary dates.

Not a fan of that. Too limiting.

Why do we only celebrate our birthday once a year? Everyday sounds much more alive.

Pausing this morning, Friday May 31, and wondering where America is with their memory of where they were when the world stopped turning.

And wondering were are all the American flags that used to be on our vehicles, in our lawns, and on our lapels.
