Can you be happy all the time?

What if we simply smiled because we can. No reason needed other than our body is able to do it.

Can you be happy all the time?

Yes.

How?

Easy.

Live in gratitude.

If you started a list of things you can be grateful for, you literally would never be able to stop writing.

Try to be unhappy when you are grateful.

You’re welcome.

Merry Christmas

Simple. Unique, because we are waking up Christmas morning (today) on Sanibel Island. Photo: yesterday.

Merry Christmas 2019.

Up at 3:00 AM, and now at 4:00 AM, this post is being written.

Up early because the inexplicable excitement for Christmas Day.

So much unassuming goodness.

We haven’t seen a single traditional sunrise or sunset in seven days and seven nights.

Traditional is defined as a big orange ball clearly seen rising from or sinking below the horizon.

Perhaps this eighth morning at 7:13 AM.

Drum roll please…

This photo, from Summer 2019, simply shows our progress as we work through six boxes of content.

Drum roll please…

Asked for verbal yes or no by 5:00 PM last night.

It’s a Yee-haw either way.

One way and the year is locked and loaded.

The opposite way is a blank canvas, with a world of possibility.

The next nine days at the beach, plus the week between Christmas and January 1, 2020 will allow for self-reflection on the Glacier Summer of self-reflection.

Margin and attitude net this

The photo above has been missing from all five website home pages for a few weeks, off and on. Figured out why yesterday. Figuring out a technical issue is a confidence booster and it validated my preaching about taking small daily risks.

Margin and attitude net patience.

Margin is unscheduled space (time) on your calendar.

Margin is a distinguishing factor between people with personal vibrancy and people who consistently struggle to survive.

Most of my life i was over-scheduled, stressed, and struggling to survive the onslaught of each day.

It’s possible that i wasn’t over-worked. It’s possible that i was under-organized.

Margin is a luxury necessity.

Choosing an attitude of opportunity, versus adversity, is a personal and mental victory. Mental victories add up and grow like daily compound interest.

How cool is that! Use that coolness to your advantage. All day. Every day.

Update Jan. 10, 2019: The issue is back. Grateful for the Internet, for WordPress, for technology, for time to write, for ideas, etc.
