The magic of compound interest

What is the “face” you see when you think about and lean on as the center of your core spiritual/emotional beliefs.

The magic of compound interest.

The magic of daily flossing.

The magic of daily bathing.

The magic of reading five daily, differently-themed blogs

The magic of exploring a spiritual/emotional core, including an origin story, and a “face” to turn to in your deepest, darkest need.

A “face”, an origin source, to talk to and thank for all the things you are grateful for.

Leaning into discomfort

The antithesis of Sanibel Island is pictured here on the Mt Reynolds (9,156’) Summer climb.

Leaning into discomfort, being with Family, being on Sanibel Island, and all three of these at Christmas is a unique and special gift.

Rock on, my friend.

Read or proclaim?

This photo is from the water station for the post here. Pictured is me trying unsuccessfully to capture the emotion from the exact spot where i could have been mauled or killed by a Grizzly bear, a few hours earlier. Convinced an instinctively zealot idea left me without a scratch.

Read or proclaim?

What?

Today, the second Sunday of Advent, i’m privileged to be the first Lector at 8:45 AM Mass.

Interesting, to me anyway, to realize it’s been six months since i’ve “done a reading”.

So, in two hours there’s the choice every Lector gets when they’re scheduled, to “do the reading” or proclaim God’s Holy Word.

You can see where this is going.

There’s that zealot raising his enthusiastic head again.

Why?

For the old me who wondered why, the answer is obvious:

Everyone is different and has their own reasons. Could be respect, conformity, fear, ego, rebellion, enthusiasm and so on. No end to the reasons.

But i like the way enthusiasm fits.

O Holy Night

Beach Christmas card
Card in a Sanibel Island (Florida) Hardware store.

To everyone who believes in the mystery of Faith, may you find what you need to live with peace and contentment.

Peace with who you are.

Content with what you have.

For me, Christmas Eve signifies the birth of a Savior.

Meanwhile, our Church’s Fall Festival begins today, a Thursday, October 24, 2019 – think small town carnival with a Ferris wheel, etc.

Do you take it for granted?

Yesterday in Philadelphia.

Do you take your blessings for granted?

Why?

Because taking our blessings for granted robs us of gratitude which robs us of joy.

From the photo above, a few easy-to-think-of blessings:

  • Able to bend down pain-free
  • The gift of eyesight
  • Having a life partner to want to send flowers to
  • Being able to notice small things (the only daisies i saw all day)
  • Having 40+ year college friends to visit annually
  • Affordable airfare
  • A great camera on a great phone
  • A sunny, warm, mid-October day
  • A Philly bike-rental tour business
  • A safe city
  • A safe Country
  • Religious/worship freedom
  • A 60-year old body that can easily walk, bike, and function well
  • Etc, etc
