urinalysis report
Too much information? Maybe. Maybe not. Point is, every marker is within range.
urinalysis report
Got same day results. This is the test that was missed on my annual blood draw appointment two weeks ago. Could have not fussed about going back a second time, just for a urine test.

The reward for hard work is results that at a minimum, meet your expectations. i fully expect to fall within all acceptable ranges.

There are seasons, hopefully years or decades long, when results are in the best, most desirable ranges.

Overcommit

post it note song list
A mixtape of love songs.

Overcommit.

Overcommit to gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, surrender.

Undercommit to impatience, anger, hate, intolerance.

No brainer, eh?

Your peace with who you are is your metric.

Your contentedness with what you have is too.

Super-optimistic, wonderfully hopeful

Some of the subdivisions, like this one which is adjacent to Lakeside Church, have hundreds of homes.

One super-optimistic, wonderfully hopeful Lakeside thing to share.

A Church in the middle of this residential acreage is a blessing. To have a Community HQ here is extraordinary.

Have always dreamt of being able to walk to Church.

Baptized Lutheran, converted to Catholicism in 1999 because Cheryl is more Catholic than i am Lutheran and i don’t think God cares.

Now, in 2022, the echo of, “God doesn’t care about your religion”, opens the door my heart to becoming a permanent, lifetime Lakeside Church member.

The proximity to thousands of neighbors and the land size provide incredible and divine opportunities to serve others and each other.

Be more accountable to yourself than to anyone else. Be kinder to yourself than anyone else. And in a perfect an excellent world, your personal standard for others is simply the standard you have for yourself. Set no low bar.

Four tools for therapists:

  1. Forgiveness
  2. Surrender
  3. Compassion
  4. Generosity

Chronic spiritual improvement

Disney Keynote Speaker
Chronic improvement stealthily manifests itself in this photo. The younger Jeff would have been in a suit and tie.

Chronic spiritual improvement defines your future.

You shun the urgent to focus on the important, non-urgent.

Chronic emotional improvement also foreshadows your life’s quality in the final decades.

Decades.

One, two, or even three decades of great emotional habits compounding over time.

Your journey’s goal is to walk in peace and contentment. May seem obvious, or maybe not, but your end goal is to die the same way you journeyed – being at peace with who you are and content with what you have.
