Christmas Eve 2023, spirit

Relationships matter. Remember to go first.

When we hiked any Glacier trail, if we remained silent while passing oncoming hikers, they remained silent.

If we initiated a salutation, nearly 100% responded.

Health is wealth. Eye health is a new and critical dimension of wealth.

Heart health. Strength. Flexibility. Sleep. Nutrition. Core. Even motivational health. All big picture.

Then there’s each individual organ.

Stomach. Hearing. Kidneys. Liver. And so on. And top of mind now is sight.

So many days

Never stop counting your blessings. That’s why i start every morning on my knees. And strive to spend all day in the present moment.
dad

All day. Every day.

Day after day.

Why?

Because someday, another day will no longer belong to you.

Because someday, another day will no longer belong to someone you care about.

You want a piece of this?

A Savior is born.

Who doesn’t want a piece of eternal life?

Today, we are four days away from Christmas.

i am basking in the late afternoon (339pm) Florida Sun.

So hot i’ll be soon seeking refuge in the shade.

Shade is easy to find here, after a few decades.

The tiny one-gallon Live Oaks we planted are now strutting their stuff.

Normally, their “stuff” isn’t needed until Summer. And oh, look at that, today is the 2023 Winter Solstice.

Go figure.

It’s not a hot day, but in the Sun with zero breeze, it’s toasty on my face.

19-second video: Today is the shortest day of the year. A toasty, “first day of Winter” day, less than one mile from Walt Disney World.

Here’s to long gazes

Mountain Chalet water treatment system — When i gaze on this water treatment system, i can’t help but be amazed at the history, the challenges, the future hopes. The tall green container is brand new, in an effort to mitigate potential natural water source supply issues, like drought.

Mountain Chalet view — View from ‘breakfast table’. A cup of hot water and a freeze-dried ‘breakfast-skillet’ meal.

Mountain chalet room — Randomly upgraded to a six-sleeper facing North. Now i can say i’ve stayed in all 20 rooms at Granite Park Chalet.

Your marching orders are to gaze twice as long at the beautiful things you encounter around you.

Hi Jeff!
Merry Christmas!

We are still waiting on NPS for their official blessing on next years operating dates. So I am not at liberty to lift the curtain yet.
I do expect to hear from them soon. we will put the operating dates on our website when we can.

Sorry to hear about the eye. That must be a difficult thing to adapt to.
I had a family member suffer a stroke this fall. The sudden reminders of our fragility and that the universe can demand the return of the equipment it loaned you – without any warning – is a challenge. I think you have the right mindset to adapt to this life change. I will share your hope that medicine or time will return the lost vision. Until then, your marching orders are to gaze twice as long at the beautiful things you encounter around you.

Have a wonderful holiday.
Kevin
