The changes are imperceptible, except for a few
A tree does not grow overnight, but it does grow.
Same with us.
It happens so slowly :
- Learning to walk
- Losing our virginity
- Moving into our own place
- The death of a parent
The days cannot teach nor prepare us like decades can.
As we age we can cast more shade, because our roots are wide and deep.
Makes sense when we think about it, but we never do.

What do we notice?
Attending Lee Cockerell’s Leadership Keynote two days ago, it was the first time stepping into the Renaissance Hotel at Sea World Orlando. Have driven by it 100’s of times. It’s big, spacious, and beautiful. Yet the carpet spoke in a way most would never (ever) consider.

Our best alibi is a terrorist
(photo: Swarovski Santa. It’s cute. A great, compulsive buy. Who wouldn’t love it? This never ends until we suffocate on our lifetime of stuff.)
Time flies and we use this notion as an alibi.
Someday we’ll get it all together and live a really decent life.
But for now, we have to go. Only ten days until Christmas.
Our best alibi is a terrorist.
Don’t believe it?
Answer this: Are you satisfied?
