Everyday is guaranteed to be ordinary

quote about balance
Balance should not be elusive.

 

Today, like every single day since April Fools Day 2009, five brief posts are offered up to relish the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

The purpose of these five daily blog posts is to warm up for the day ahead. To contemplate how we will balance our daily energy so we never feel unbalanced.

Everyday is guaranteed to be ordinary. Extra-ordinary days are up to us. Note to self: be an over-achiever.

A 10-year plan seemed absurd at first

Fascinated with logos lately.

“Hey, look at us, we’re hilarious.”

 

funny hats
My first thought was they probably lost a bet.

 

funny tee shirts
Truth.

 

A 10-year plan seemed absurd at first.

We’re all familiar with this scenario:

What would you do if you had only six months to live?

After 30 years at Disney, my mind has been trained to .think .differently

What would you do if you had only 10 years to live?

A question like this changes everything and hands us (on a silver platter) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform our weak and worried soul.

In just three days, i’m “down to” three years remaining.

World IBD Day 2016

World IBD Day 2016 is today.

This means nothing for literally everyone in the world.

Had never heard of Inflammatory Bowel Disease until 11 years ago when our son was almost four. He began having symptoms that were unhealthy.

This led us on a journey to find out why.

We became members of CCFA after 18 months of testing including three colonoscopies, a barium x-ray, countless blood tests and other x-rays, comprehensive immunology tests, as well as testing for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Leukemia.

Yes, all those tests occurred from the time he turned four until he was 5.5 years old.

Everyone is fighting something unhealthy. This is one of our battles.

Here’s to hoping you are fighting valiantly.

i remember being grossly inadequate with this simple task

Orlando sunrise
Yesterday, like every other morning.

 

One simple way to celebrate midlife is to watch as many sunrises and sunsets as possible.

When i’m not traveling, i don’t miss a single sunrise.

Writing for two hours every morning has enabled this phenomenon.

In two short weeks, year seven comes to an end.

Insight: Impossible only is until it isn’t.
