Don’t expect it at the end, expect it with every step you take

Church message projected on large wall
No guilt in life, no fear in death (now that’s thanksgiving)

 

Thanksgiving Eve morning 2013 as this is written (March 9, 2014 as it becomes public)…

Wishing everyone a peace and contentment that isn’t found at the end of a long journey, but one that is found with every step you take.

We have come to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving when we learn to celebrate it everyday.

Hoping the inbox has a few emails from the chosen ones

Mid Life Celebration the book, first 20 copies
Mid Life Celebration the book, first 20 copies (gave most of the red ones away)

 

Sometime later today, hoping the inbox has a few emails from the chosen ones.

Four days ago sent seven copies (only 10 in print) of the book to seven of the most active MLC supporters.

The three others copies? Keeping the original I read (and reread – 10 times so far), one copy voluntarily sent for an audit, and one copy to frame (or something) for posterity.

The spine was printed incorrectly, so ten corrected copies just arrived a few days ago. Ten free copies to review and share are a typical first step in the printing process.

Hidden amongst all of this is a big pile of “figure-it-out”

Put up or shut up
Copies on left are correct. Incorrect copies on right set things back a month.

 

Who among us doesn’t have a platform, a cause, or something that fires them up?

Nice riff. Well said. No arguments. Yada yada.

And then along comes reality and the need to do a lot with limited resources.

Like trying to find time to exercise even though we know how wonderfully beneficial it is.

Or finding time to volunteer because we know there are so many in need of our time or talent.

And then work, with a never ending stream of projects to tackle (voluntarily) on top of the day to day responsibilities.

And let’s not forget all the great books we’d like to read, but they pile up collecting dust.

And the home improvement and fix-it-up projects that are clamoring for our attention.

Hidden amongst all of this is a big pile of “figure-it-out”. Not sure what the answer is, yet it takes many voices to move a mountain.

Praying the serenity prayer for you, the children, and the world.

You won’t believe what happened next…
