12 days went by fast

Many Glacier Hotel
Yes, it’s this striking.

 

Nearly two weeks away from home.

The original trip on November 1st was booked without a return flight, and we eventually booked the return for November 6, which was two days after Dad’s funeral.

Little did we know that Mom wouldn’t be strong enough to attend Dad’s viewing and funeral.

In fact, it happened fast – Mom went to be with Dad the very next day.

Six days apart.

Allegiant Air made it easy to rebook our flight for yesterday evening, two days after Mom’s funeral.

First time for everything

Nursing home room
The floor pad next to the recliner chair at 5:00AM.

 

Volunteered to spend the night in Cedarbrook’s D221B room.

While this happened, Americans set their clocks back one hour.

Today is November 5, 2017.

Eight hours of sleep with a couple waking moments as Nurses performed their overnight duties.

i’d never slept on the floor at the bedside of a Nursing Home resident until last night/this morning.

And yesterday’s funeral service for my 91-year old Father-In-Law was a beautiful Earthly send off to a Heavenly and Eternal resting place.

Of course you don’t know when you’ll die

Last night.

 

Nursing Home wifi password.

Funeral in two days.

And a second funeral is imminent.

When is yours?

Of course (with some exceptions), no one knows.

Begs these questions though.

Will you be prepared?

Will you dwell in regret?

Will you be at peace?

Will you feel joy for what lies ahead?

Personal, mental recession?

Love quote
The day began yesterday with me stopping to snap this photo on the bike ride to the gym. i think the message is profound.

 

growth mindset
Last night’s presentation at the High School.

 

Personal, mental recession?

This is when you reflect back on your past year and you realize (and have really known all along) you haven’t grown mentally as a person.

i wish everyone a growth mindset, especially those who operate in a fixed mindset.

Perfect timing for an opinion on eccentricity

eccentricity definition
Weirdness, oddness, strangeness – looks like the shoe fits.

Finding solace…

“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.” – Bertrand Russell

A deadline i gave myself 10 years ago has 21 months remaining.
