Smart is as smart does

All success can be boiled down to consistently doing the common sense thing for an uncommonly long time without convincing yourself that you’re smarter than you are.

You ain’t smarter than God.

But you have been given the same heart.

Short jaunt from anxiety

two story home foyer steps
None of those people in the photos on the left wall ever said, “I only wish I had spent more time at the office. And, I’m so glad I waited until my health started failing before I tried to “live a little”.

Short jaunt from anxiety.

What?

Short jaunt from anxiety.

How?

Committing to moving into a new, supremely-deserved life-chapter.

Harvest time.

You know, the ‘ole reaping what you sow’.

Timing works outside comedy

two men next to Disney University
Jon and i were Disney Institute colleagues. He’s wearing an “In Training” red ribbon from his name tag. He’s working seasonally for Run Disney and is at DU for some training. Never would have bumped into him if it hadn’t been for these birds…
10-second video: Heard them squawking, otherwise, would never looked up to spot them.

Love Disney University.

Love walking.

Love looking at the sky.

Love bird watching.

Love Sand Hill Cranes.

Love running into old colleagues.

Love when all this happens at the same time.

Hours later not only am i at Epcot, but also Magic Kingdom.

Crazier still is that i departed early and walked home to blog, do home stuff, and prepare for today, Monday, December 9.

FIXED! White screen of death, spirit

Also re-sharing this one too, for posterity.

Resharing for posterity.

In a busy world, small details are easy to overlook.

In a less busy, less rushed world, small details get the appropriate time and attention they need.

And it’s easy to forget, even when un-rushed, what a miracle it is to be born on Earth and live a life.

Doing my best to never ever take that for granted.

Happy present moment, by the way.

May all your days be merry and bright.
