Christmas means nothing without Easter.

You can’t be serious

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Halloween, 2014.

If Disney ran my retirement, Disney would insist i have daily habits and rituals that bring me joy, purpose, and laughter.

dad

You can’t be serious.

Right?

You’ve been writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts for how many years without missing a single day?

Yes.

Why?

Daily, balanced writing brings me peace and contentment.

The late and long-lasting snow last night cancelled my plan to fill the tank this morning. Closest gas station is six miles. Airport is 100 meters away. Roads are icy.

The first time i retired from Disney is also the last time.

Haunting even.

But not like a Goat Haunt.

Seeing snow on the forest floor is one thing.

Being outside while snow is falling is a big surprise.

We are mindful that this area is seasonally buried with intense snowfall. Winter is over. We are in the first week of Spring.

And what we see now is not indicative of Winter here. However, we are enjoying our once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The long way

funny quotes on colorful cards
The shortcut, as you know, is the long way.
Funny quote card
Many can relate. Reminds me that ignorance is bliss, in the proper context.

The long way is the short cut.

dad

There are no short cuts.

Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes. This takes a long time to learn enough to be wise enough.
