Not counting today, T-minus two days

Catch the note at the top? We often use humor to mask our weaknesses. Addiction to sugar is a weakness. But if we joke about it, maybe we aren’t addicted? Tough love got it’s name for a reason.

 

 

Awoke not long ago at 4:30am.

Planned to sleep in until 6am.

Up later than normal last night watching Avatar.

Not counting today, T-minus two days until wheels up at 8am Wednesday.

An idea woke me up.

And an excitement about being totally ready by tomorrow (Monday) night.

When this happens, Tuesday will be a carefree day.

Less than a week to live?

First photo from yesterday while walking to the gym.

 

Less than a week to live?

No.

Less than a week until an 11-day writing and sales trip.

Work like you mean it to eliminate regret from your life.

And be mindful there is no perfect way, and that your chosen way might not work.

Your way may also be brilliant.

The key is to go for it – no regret.

Waiting and doing nothing

Going to the sun road plowing status
Going-To-The-Sun Road plowing status. T-minus seven days until wheels up at 8am. Status from May 22, 2018 (yesterday).

 

 

Waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self-destruction.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.  – Dale Carnegie

Gonna be a busy Summer.

The hardest part isn’t what to do, it’s what not to do.

Not stalling.

Not procrastinating.

Not making excuses.

Not worrying about it not being good enough.

Happy New Day

Disney Keynote Speaker hiking
The Crown of The Continent – Glacier National Park. First trip begins in 11 days.

 

Happy New Day.

Awoke at 3am.

Filled with ideas and excitement.

But if i start working at 3am, i miss two hours of sleep.

Short-term, like until about 1pm, it would be an advantage.

But after lunch, i’d be ready for a nap – i’d rather not.

Decision time – so i close my eyes and hope to not reawaken until 5am.

Probably 10 more looks at the clock as time seemed to stand still.

i fought the temptation to arise.

Hard.

Perseverance paid off.

Eventually and excitedly began at 4:55am.

The 2018 Disney Way Keynote Speaking has been busy January through May and i’m now officially on a Summer sabbatical through September.

Hell-bent on finishing the series of Disney Business books that have have been incubating, two-thirds completed, in my mind and heart.

Welcome back home to Walt Disney World

Out for an hour-plus leisurely walk after breakfast, passing time until 10:30am when i would leave the Kentucky Drury Inn for the airport to come home.

Stumbled into a Barnes and Noble and what was staring at me in the foyer book racks?

This…

(Karma)

 

Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park is obviously listed in this book.

 

Glacier National Park
No photo credit is given for the Park this photo was taken. i’m betting on Glacier.

 

Glacier National Park
So i only want to open to page 338 and see the pictures.

 

Glacier National Park
Waterton (the Canadian sister Park with Glacier) is the first photo.

 

Glacier National Park
This is America’s only International Peace Park.

 

Glacier National Park
Well over one million acres.

 

Glacier National Park
The first trip involves an 8-day bike rental. Access to higher elevation trails won’t happen until mid-July this year.

 

Intentionally resisting the countdown until today.

Why?

Never want to post in real time when i’m away from home, especially an 11-day absence.

So, now that i’ve reached a safe date to begin a countdown…

Only 20 days until the flight to Kalispell, Montana.

And in the same breath, “Welcome back home to Walt Disney World.”

May 30 – June 10.

Leave in 20 days, return in 30.

Eleven days of writing.

And…

Sales meetings with:

Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, Whitefish Chamber of Commerce, Columbia Falls Chamber of Commerce, Glacier Conservancy, Xanterra Resorts, and The National Park Service.

Note: This post goes live the day after i return from an 11-day writer’s retreat in Glacier National Park.
