Hallelujah kind of day

Yesterday was (and today is) a Hallelujah kind of day.

Yesterday was a victory.

Everyday, if we are focused, turns out to be a Hallelujah kind of day. But it’s hard with the weight of the world on our shoulders to remember this.

Only when the weight feels like it’s lifting do we find time to pause and count our blessings in the midst of overwhelm.

Yesterday was a better-than-average productive day.

i find it paramount to remain determined and to keep going – one ordinary day at a time – and only accept victory over what challenges me.

Prolific Blogger jeff noel from Disney — Old school WordPress site 2011.

What are you hoping to give this year?

Today, Christmas Eve, it’s common to ask the youth of the world, “What are you hoping to get this year?”

Here’s to 2016 being the year where there is no turning back on:

rethinking
reprioritizing
recommitting

i’m hoping to give away more hope, to more people, more often.

Things our Son (15) said yesterday

Father and Son at High School — Last night.

Things our Son (15) said yesterday:

You know what, you sound like a goody two-shoes.
You’re always smiling.
No, you didn’t embarrass me.

Sometimes as busy professionals, the gems are right in front of us, but we are too busy to notice. Here’s to noticing yesterday.

Writing began, and continues, one single, solitary day at a time

Apple Watch Mickey Mouse screen shot — So unimportant to call out a single, ordinary day – yesterday was Monday, November 23, 2015.

Dear Son, i often end emails and social media private messages with this challenge, “Be amazed and be amazing.”

At the completion of the first day of a self-imposed 100-day writing challenge which began April Fools Day 2009, i had five blog posts. On April 2 i wrote five more. That’s how it all began. And that’s how it continues – one single, solitary day at a time.

Believe it or not, i was amazed that i actually did what i said i was gonna do. That’s the surest way to be amazed and be amazing.
