Less than expected

Family at National Park Sign
2024. My instincts taught me to be intentional about simple, unique annual traditions.

People, including myself, expect so much.

Why?

Because we have been trained by media to think against our instincts.

The Cosmos trained us to survive. The industrial complex, including the rise of clever marketing genius, trained us to believe we could only become complete if we lived a certain way. With ‘more’. With ‘better’.

In reality, Pop Tarts are the least of our “must haves” for breakfast (or snacks).

Who knew?

You can’t be serious

39-second video: Let’s make America Healthy Again. Let’s start with ample sugar and processed flour. Wait, maybe things have changed since i was 13 years old getting ready for middle school. At least by middle school i had graduated from eating Frosted Flakes for breakfast.

Gluttony.

Unfocused.

Un-visionary.

Un-intentional.

Un-aware of consequences.

Un-aware of compounding results.

Are ya with me?

Google, “America’s obesity rate“.

Now are ya with me?

Note #1: Reminder (as always), this is me talking to me.

Note #2: The past few weeks, just before Influenza-A, i peaked at 164 pounds. My lifetime high is 173. My fighting weight is 150. Do the math. i was/am miserable (and far too unhealthy).

Peace is being caught up

GoDaddy admin panel
Bottomline, this means i cannot get into my house. i’m locked out. The website is visible to everyone, but i cannot get inside “the house, my house”. No entry means no blog writing. Lets’s hope this doesn’t last longer than 24 hours or a 5,000+ day writing streak will fall.
post it note with handwritten notes
Michael at GoDaddy (from cold Tennessee) was exceptional. Nearly every call i have with GoDaddy is exceptional. And there have been hundreds of calls since 2008.

Michael from GoDaddy recommended i save a ‘hard copy’ of the daily WordPress backups. i tried and didn’t find it successful. i need the 20-gig file (times 5 blogs = 100 gigs) to be stored in the cloud, not the Laptop, as he suggested. Perhaps an external hard drive? Hmmm.

The longer i live, the more this seems like a singular key:

Peace is being caught up.

Of course, this assumes you are positive, healthy, at peace, making an artful contribution, and making decisions using prioritized priorities.

What spiritual pain

disney Pixar inside out 2 toy figurines on a table
Not the photo i wanted to use but it will do for now. Sparing you the story.

What spiritual pain do you want in your life?

i’ll gladly take the pain of having a heart that never rests from continuously thinking about better ways to serve where i can and when i can. Church is every step. Nothing fancy. Simply good and decent energy all day, every day.

What pain do you want to avoid?

i want to avoid the pain that stems from a lack of: gratitude, surrender, patience, and forgiveness. The pain from emptiness and lack of vibrant purpose.
