Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Exclamation Point at Chimney Rock is not where i thought this post would be written.
Surprise, surprise.
Mid Life Celebration is like that isn’t it? Full of good things we don’t see coming.
The caveat is this:
We see what we want to see.
We control our attitude about whether our day is filled with beauty or whether it is filled with struggle.
PS. We all struggle. So why not struggle in beauty?

Yesterday morning began in Jacksonville, Florida at the 2015 USATF Masters Track & Field National Championships.
So many older Americans there embrace thriving regardless of negative, aging stereotypes.
Twelve hours later, back home at Disney, we went to dinner at Epcot. The contrast between the physical vibrancy at the track meet and the overwhelming lack of it at the theme park was literally sickening unhealthy.
Sorry to be so honest.
Follow the Herd, or follow the Movement.
The movement is authenticity.
Being authentic to our deepest desires, one of which is to live (physically) vibrantly.

Our lives tick by one after the other. Day after day after day.
When does sucking the marrow out of life begin?
Seriously, when?
Never in a million years did i think blogging would change my life.
To carve out two hours every morning to contemplate yesterday, today, and tomorrow…pure joy.
Writing this on July 23 from the Jacksonville Marriott knowing this will go live on Halloween, a very special, once-in-a-lifetime day.
What’s cool after two hours? The sun comes up and another amazing day unfolds.

Yesterday began at 4am in the Lake McDonald Lodge lobby, using wifi to check in on the real world. During this time, there were two trips back to the cabin to make the second and third cups of hot water with honey.
Being off the grid for four days has been a shock to the system.
A good shock.
One that may soon be a thing of the past.
There are few places in America left untouched by instant communication.
The common sense lesson has been this:
Life goes on without us. And our life isn’t dependent on knowing what everyone else is doing.

When was the last time we went to sleep anticipating a sunrise we may never get a chance to witness again?
And a crazy west facing sunrise to boot.
Yesterday’s west facing vantage point from our balcony offering something unlikely to come again.
A boy, almost 15, finding it difficult to be inspired at such an early hour.
A father, 56, trying hard to believe that the effort is worth the lack luster excitement.
