Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Surrender is a super-power.

Am i disappointed that i’m not on a jet racing to Glacier National Park right now?
No.
Why?
Because i’ve already spent a month hiking in Glacier this Summer.
Plus, this is the 11th consecutive Summer visiting.
No regret nor remorse from this Summer’s second visit being cancelled.

Decades of moving to a peaceful core minimized anxiety. You know, the anxiety from picturing your eye ball punctured with needles while you’re awake.

My goal in life is to be a ‘humble servant’. And to be a fun person to share time with.
dad
In the big picture, i am sort of offended at myself because i’m worried (concern is the better word, but worried is more accurate) about the blogging streak as if it’s more important than possibly losing sight in one eye.
It’s not more important.
But my integrity is also paramount.
For me to say, “i’ve never missed a day” is only possible if it’s true.
i’ve come to enjoy saying it, when appropriate.
Not because it was ever a goal, but because it tangibly illustrates one day at a time as well as or perhaps better than anything i’ve done.
Except for not drinking a drop of alcohol between our son’s first birthday and his 22nd.
And before i began that 21-year streak, i had a streak nearly 30-years long of drinking everyday.
Ps. Today’s other four blogs intentionally are text only.

Theory is worthless without application.
dad
Generally in our life, so much work goes into creating a living space that is visually appealing to our preferences.
What happens if you spend decades creating a living and growing space and then you were blindfolded for the rest of your life?
What if the wrinkles you’ve watched multiply and grow deeper, would never be visible again?
What if you never “see” your loved ones again.
How would you see all of it without the gift of sight?

Loss begets compassion.
dad
Thinking yesterday about what felt like a possible (not probable, not on the first day anyway) loss of one eye, i immediately started looking for the blessings.
Sixty-plus years with two eyes.
Some are born blind.
Some become blind as children; in one or both eyes.
Others become blind later, but still spend most of their life without sight.
Losing an eye after six decades feels pretty lucky, perhaps even miraculous, compared against common outcomes.
