Days like these come and go so often it’s hard to notice

Happy Veteran’s Day 2016.

Days like these come and go so often it’s hard to notice.

i mean, we just had Halloween, then election day, Thanksgiving is almost here and then Winter Solstice, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.

That’s the challenge isn’t it?

Noticing the important stuff when it seems everything is important.

Or maybe the challenge is deciding of the important stuff, which is most important.

Not convincing ourselves of our priorities affects our attitude at an imperceptible level.

This imperceptible level, unfortunately, poisons our attitude so slowly, we never notice.

A time capsule from 1972 (freshman year for Dieruff’s class of 1976). The article is ridiculous old yet how did advertising people think it had integrity?

Writer’s flood.

Too many thoughts.

Too many lessons.

Too many memories.

From just a single day.

Yesterday.

But i will try to say a lot in today’s five posts, without writing a lot.

Wish me luck.

Few things in life are as powerful as a positive attitude

World Series 2016 game 7
Went to bed knowing i would potentially miss an incredible finish.

 

Few things in life are as powerful as a positive attitude.

How does a positive attitude work?

It helps us make better decisions.

Two decent choices last night.

Go to bed as close to 10pm as possible to get eight hours of sleep, and miss something potentially amazing.

Or stay up late and not get eight hours of sleep.

Had it been track & field and something potentially remarkable, i may have still made the same choice.

Why, because i won’t be getting eight hours of sleep tonight.

Why?

Need to awake at 3:30am to make it to an early flight to Allentown, PA,

Time well wasted

Running shoe shopping
A first – getting fitted for running shoes.

 

Analyzing runner's feet
High tech process to video tape foot while running. See the video screen?

 

Time well wasted.

Wasting time and not getting anything done at work, but serving with all your heart and soul to help a teenager become an adult.

Hours worth of not getting anything done at work.

When you feel like the time you “wasted” was the best part of your day.

Yeah, who doesn’t want more of that.

Arriving home late is not worth it

Airport departure sign
Note time in upper right corner. Third flight from top is ours.

 

An alarm chiming at 3:30am in Montana is the price paid for a decent arrival time in Orlando. The 20-minute drive to Kalispel airport and an easy rental car return process made it undemanding to arrive early for a 6:15am wheels up.

.

PS. Note to self for posterity: 08.06 Saturday fly home 730am
