Forgive, pardon, forget

Sucking the marrow out of life… Robin Williams committed suicide yesterday (August 11, 2014).

Today is dedicated to going after our impossible dreams.
1826
The fact that MLC has written five daily posts for five consecutive years is astonishing.
The emotional, personal, ripple effect from today’s posts (day 1827) has been fun in a weird, unexpected way. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It was simply a bold, 100-day personal challenge to break the insidiously well-developed habit of not writing. At all. Like 30-years worth of nothing.
Anyway, glad to take the risk.

Find the good in every situation. It becomes habit, and our joy becomes prolific.
So thankful that a friend and I had an intense, honest, loving, two-hour dinner conversation, prompted by the friend’s question, “Any feedback?”
It hit me two days later that the risk I took – and the content provided – to share ‘brutally honest’ feedback was never acknowledged.
No, “Thank you Jeff for sharing that with me. I truly appreciate you being so completely and utterly honest and insightful.”
Doesn’t matter.
What matters is I answered the question fully and completely.
Finally.
I can now move on, gratefully.

Someone answers, “Hello.”
“Yes, hello. Is this Earth?, the voice at the other end says.
“Um, yes, it is”, is the reply.
Once again from the other end, “Well, this is your wake-up call.”
A midlife crisis is often, but not always, initiated by a midlife wake-up call. It is our personal responsibility to react positively.
This Gulf of Mexico oil disaster means something to every human being on the planet. Have you figured it out yet?
