Planned, unplanned ending

Ten days until the planned, unplanned ending.

Knew the possibility of ending the prolific daily blogging might happen.

Never banked on it being in 2025.

Never.

But it’s going to.

Feels great, actually.

Weird?

Of course.

Ready?

No and yes.

What follows goodbye?

The number of days in 16 years, plus four leap years.

What follows goodbye?

Following goodbyes, there are planned ‘hellos’.

Hellos…

  1. Old dreams collecting dust
  2. New dreams recently dreamt up

Three weeks away, mind

Three weeks away from what is probably going to be a command decision.

April Fool’s Day 2025 will start the 17th year of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts. Never missed a day. Ever. Insane.

After 16 complete years, April Fool’s Day 2025 seems like a nice place to stop.

Five “justs”

Disney customer service keynote speaker
Stumbled on this Disney Keynote photo. Clearing (deleting) texts yesterday and stumbled on three photos i didn’t know i had. The conference photographer texted them soon after the event. This is the first one.

Five ‘justs’:

  1. Just lead
  2. Just engage
  3. Just serve
  4. Just love
  5. Just improve

Write like you mean it

Hand-written notes
Not sure who wrote this. But certain it was a Disney Institute colleague. Guessing this photo is at least a decade old.

Gotta say, writing yesterday’s posts was therapeutic.

Which reminds me that writing in general is therapeutic.

This is a plus for continuing to blog.

Conversely, the reality that it’s not selfish to stop blogging is equally compelling.

Note: As i write today’s first post, a blinding flash of the obvious…writing is a superior way to think.

Bonus note: It’s not that i want to stop writing. It’s that i want to try something else with my time. Not sure what the ‘something else’ is. i have hunches. That part will fall into place. But without repurposing the extra two hours every day, possibility and opportunity are stifled.
