Where would be be if we didn’t quit for a whole decade?

2013 High School yearbook picture quotes
When Philip is 28, what will he have acoomplished that 10 years ago seemed unlikely?

 

It would be a dream to see society not look at weight as a beauty thing but rather a heath thing.

The whole point of exercising is to support and nourish all the vital organs that keep us alive.

The point of earning and managing money isn’t to get rich, it’s to be able to function without financial assistance from others.

The point of spiritual awakening and growth, isn’t to be a saint, it’s to be at a place where we can serve others before self. If we can’t feed 100, feed one.

The point of being organized isn’t to win a better Homes and Gardens feature, it’s to manage our things and be able to find things them we need to. And to not be burdened with their care and security.

The point of our attitude isn’t to be Pollyanna, it’s to simply be able to handle the never ending onslaught of life’s challenges that will either force us to live as survivors or thrivers.

Keep moving forward. Imagine us making a decade worth of progress, in any area of our life – it can do nothing but astonish the determined, focused, and disciplined warrior.

Aloha Mid Life Celebration

Various Aloha bumper stickers
Felt Aloha and hopefully lived it while working in Hawaii

 

Aloha Mid Life Celebration.

Completely disjointed from normal routine.

Thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to experience The Big Island and Maui.

Relished the privilege to teach here.

Time flew so fast, it’s unbelievable.

Writing was nearly nonexistent. So was exercise.

Will process these things upon the return to Orlando tomorrow.

Dear readers, an amazing day of cultural immersion is good for the soul.

Twelve hours and a couple hundred miles.

It was work.

It was fun.

They go together.

The 19-hour travel day to tee this up was as fun as a 19-hour travel day could be on three flights, on an airline without any loyalty program status.

Yesterday’s track meet… hope you click over to Lane 8 (Next Blog)

 

Dear Readers, each morning I think of you and wonder six things. Do you know:

  1. How grateful I am for your company?
  2. How much I hope you get more out of this now than when you started?
  3. How often I dream that you find it worthy to share with others?
  4. How scary it can be to be a writer?
  5. How sincerely I value your feedback?
  6. How often I think about one through five?

Be well today and remain amazed.

Dear Readers, here we are, one day away from Summer Solstice 2013

Church door inspirational sign for Lent
what if we replaced our procrastination with life changing action instead?

 

Dear Readers, here we are, one day away from Summer Solstice 2013. Remember last year jeff noel (yeah, that’s me planting seo seeds) asked if the Summer of 2012 would be the best of our entire lives (mine was).

And there’s no reason stopping any of us from having an even better one than last year.

Live like you mean it!

Come alive, everyone. Come alive.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.
