After 50 years, WDW has nowhere to go but UP. 

Hey Walt Disney World, adventure awaits. Be amazed and be amazing. And, happy 50th birthday!

She’s leaving

  • Moments after dropping Cheryl at departing flights curb. Parked. Met her inside. Watched final 12 minutes of The Morning Show, season one. Brilliant storytelling. You’ll learn/experience workplace reality while being entertained. 
  • Drive back to Glacier revealed this mountaintop surprise.
  • Delayed out of Kalispell. But only by enough to place doubt in making connecting Denver flight to Walt Disney World.

Today is empty-nest day 23. Today is also our first day apart in this new reality. Cheryl and i agreed on me staying another week. Would have been easy to fly home with Cheryl yesterday and be in our pool today. However, Jody Maberry on a last minute call, is arriving tomorrow. He (and i) didn’t want to break our Glacier visit streak. This means i will miss my hometown’s 50th birthday celebration. 

Ps. As if someone like me would actually have to be there to appreciate and cherish the milestone. 🥳😂

It’s difficult, until it isn’t

The flower, like you, is designed to bloom. 

Your mind is busy because you don’t want to do the hard, time-consuming work to transform from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

21-Day Empty Nest

  • Most young, first-world kids learn to draw a rainbow. 
  • Rainbows seem Magical to kids. 
  • The trick is to sustain the rainbow-Magic as we age. It’s not difficult if you remember who you are. 
  • Guessing a Grizzly Bear has no delusions about who it is. 
  • Moments like this one teach me new behavior insights previously unknown to me.

Knowing you are going to die is a great way to focus on living. 

My path is not your path. But my path is a great template and benchmark.

CEO of your thinking

Grateful to have to pay for this seat. At Disney Institute this seat would predominantly be a free upgrade. 
  • Tallest Mountain Ash tree i’ve ever seen. In Town no less. Mountain living is harsh. 
  • House across the street from Olympic-medal Mountain Ash tree. 
  • Read the fine print. Quite the designation. Perhaps a Winter visit?

Remember those pigs who built their houses out of stone? The ones who toiled while the others played? Remember?

The three little pigs parable is classic. 

Positive, growth mindsets are available to everyone. 

If you understand and embrace this, you are either on your way or you have already arrived. 

Any moments of excuses and blaming is classic pigs building with sticks or straw.
