Peace In Your Soul – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Nursing Home stuff, mind

Mickey Mouse — Cheryl sent this from Disneyland Paris yesterday.

13-second video: Also yesterday. Live like you mean it. Someday you won’t be here to.

In the same way i’m saying goodbye to Work, Glacier, Blogging, etc… i’m also saying goodbye to ‘stuff’.

What stuff?

The stuff that accumulated over a lifetime.

The stuff no one will want after i’m gone.

The stuff that i have a choice to sift through now.

The stuff that is free to go. So that the remaining stuff would fit into a shared Nursing Home room.

The stuff that can fit on a small bookshelf, a tiny closet, and perhaps a small nightstand.

What an opportunity.

What a privilege.

What fun!

It could be worse

Christmas tree in the living room — December 24, 2024.

Christmas is glorious for some, painful for some, and a non-event for some.

It’s helpful to not only remember this at Christmas but every day of the year.

A well established growth mindset is a glorious gift you give yourself.

To each their own, mind

Teddy bear on a hotel room bed — Finland, 2009.

Freedom of speech.

Freedom of thought.

Think what you want to think.

To each their own.

Don’t worry about what others think.

They don’t worry about what you think.

What a revelation.

Who knew?

Now i know.

One of my late-in-life revelations.

It’s easy to wonder what my life would have been like had i known this decades ago. But gratefully, i haven’t spent any time thinking about it.

Super cool

woman on a touring bicycle — A bicycle honeymoon is super cool.

Super cool what time’s passage and prolific daily writing do as a therapy-team to accelerate understanding.

The second five posts for healing and recovery writing from the February 27, 2022 HOA meeting would have posted today.

Five additional posts written February 28.

But guess what is super cool?

The posts are literally perfect.

Cathartic.

Authentic.

Written objectively to show ongoing compassion.

The goal isn’t to express anger or embarrass people.

No, the goal is healing and leaving a trail for our son.

My generous effort to not name names nor specifics.

Back to super cool…just decided to postpone those five posts for several months instead of the intended two weeks.

Decent chance they never get posted.

Why?

Accelerated emotional progress.

Super cool.

Hey Bear

Grizzly Bear in mountains — With no other humans for miles in any direction, we made noise knowing we’d have to pass by this Grizzly. We did not want to surprise this bear. Wind can disable the bear’s ability to smell or hear us, hence shouting, “Hey Bear!” Bears and humans share a characteristic, neither want to be *surprised* with a perceived threat.

Hey bear is used while hiking in Grizzly Bear country.

Hey Chuck is used while in Chuck country (the Church property).

Chuck said in Sunday’s sermon three days ago that he was one of those kids you didn’t want to be around. He said he questioned everything.

Any person, at any age, with an over-active curiosity – without an off switch – can be annoying.

Was never that kid, but sure as heck am that adult now.

My business insights and coaching advice depend on it, thrive on it even.
