Leadership is BS

Read the green text bubble. While on the first six-mile leg of an 11-mile walking day, sent a group text to a dozen college buddies. Then the green bubble below…

Suspected, because it’s a holiday, that there could be some bandwidth for others to chime in. Sharing some photos from the thread for posterity. Real life in real time. The 13 of us have known each other since 1977-78. We generally have had annual get-togethers since then. Here are some photos in today’s thread…

Since returning from Australia four days ago, we are slowly normalizing our home routine.

Worth noting we went from three weeks of Australia Winter (temps ranged from 50-70) to Florida Summer with heat index of 110 all week.

Didn’t walk as much as planned in Australia because of the morning’s ‘cold weather’. So being back home, i’m trying to ‘make up for lost mileage’.

This reminds me to remind myself…

Never let society’s embarrassingly low health standards be yours. Set polarizing, high health standards.

This is true leadership.

If you’re not leading yourself first, you’re a puppet.

You’re welcome.

Today could be a thing

Everyone is going through a hell no one knows about. Growth-mindset doesn’t make you immune, it makes you creative.

Dusk. Yesterday. Haven’t seen an Owl in months.

The things humans take for granted is staggering.

Joy is part of life. So is suffering.

Procrastination, coupled with ambition, may become unbearable without prevention and intervention.

If i go blind, there’s a lot of stuff i was planning to look at down the road.

Start looking at it now.

Or get rid of it.

Both will help you free yourself from regret.

Let happy thoughts keep you preoccupied. Your face will thank you.

Four weeks post-op second eye surgery update:

The 8-week gas bubble is nearly 50% absorbed.

In the past four days, i’m starting to see again.

Just a sliver of tree tops and sky (green and blue) on Monday. Called Dr. Kumar’s office and asked his office manager (Maria) to tell him the good news.

Then Tuesday and Wednesday, ever so slightly more visuals.

Yesterday and today (Friday, October 13), nearly half of my field of vision is not blocked by gas.

But yesterday the floaters concerned me. Called Dr Kumar’s office to request an exam two weeks earlier than scheduled to ensure the floaters are ‘normal’.
