Dear Son, a Sunday morning of epic proportions

Florida hawk on a fence
Yesterday morning during bike ride near Disney University. You rarely get this close to a hawk.

 

There are days in our lives when an event happens without warning and we are stunned.

Stunned at it’s abrupt arrival.

Stunned by the emotional turmoil that rocks our world.

Stunned at the aftershocks, even as new tremors erupt.

Yesterday morning was one such day.

Life will go on.

And it will go on in a better way because of what we learned as a Family.

Wisdom can strike at any time

Church auditorium
Places like this you expect to hear wisdom, but not at the ATT Store.

 

Wisdom can strike at any time.

Even at a retail store for a quick grab and go a few days ago.

Expected the interaction to last about three minutes. But because of karma, it lasted about 15.

“You can’t blame someone else”, is the wisdom his grandmother taught him as a child.

This begs three questions, “Do we blame? Who do we blame? And what are we going to do about it?”

The gift of freedom to learn your own mental lessons

Cocoa Beach Pier
Cocoa Beach Pier yesterday morning. Roughly a dozen surfers, barely visible, on the top wave swell.

 

This post is simple and direct.

We have a gift, freedom, and responsibility. The harsh reality is that only one person is responsible for our results.

The gift of freedom to learn our own mental lessons.

Life’s a beach?

And then we die.

Figure it out.

We have two simple choices.

It’s our responsibility to choose surviving or thriving.

No one is ever going to pick for us.

This will threaten some, and invigorate others.

This is also a clue, and our baseline understanding, of where we are on our journey.

Find a different attitude lane

i like giving quote
From Facebook yesterday: I like Giving

 

(If you are already vibrantly positive, you can skip this post.)

Find a different attitude lane.

Why?

Because our attitude determines how we define every single thing in our life.

Define my life with positivity, or drown in self-pity.

My choice is obvious.

The work, arduous.

And worth it.

Dear Son, take your time, but don’t wait

Glacier Park in early Fall
Yesterday on Glacier’s Facebook page.

 

When we are in our sweet spot, life is easy, glorious, and real.

May you be fully, and constantly, aware of your sweet spot.

May you live in your sweet spot today.

And tomorrow and the day after that.
