Thankful for connection

Our dear Columbia Falls, Montana friends Steve and Stacy texted this yesterday (Thanksgiving) morning. Have enjoyed their hot tub (left) and their campfire burgers (upper right) several times.

Last night. Thanksgiving dinner is upon us.

Connection.

Various meanings.

Numerous applications.

People. Electricity. Business. Supply chain. Political. On and on.

My favorite connection is connecting the spirit of Thanksgiving Day to every single day of the year, not just the fourth Thursday of November.

You know my saying, “We come to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving when we learn to celebrate it every day.”

Other podium-worthy ‘connections’ are some special people we share unlikely common bonds with. Using two examples from yesterday, we have our Montana connection and our Venezuelan connection, both captured unglamorously in this post’s two photos above.

Grateful for so many people and things to be connected to.

Big decisions, spirit

Busy, always-in-a-hurry, stressed out people provide me zero joy. Zero peace. Zero contentment. But provide 100% contamination.

Busy, stressed out people are par for the course. They’re everywhere. Always have been. It’s time to pass the torch.

That, to me, is a clear, concise, and compelling reason to stop working.

The other decent reason to stop working is there’s not a need to continue. Love what i do, yet have enough of everything to stop.

Purpose, Process, Payoff

Today my “vision” was a minimum 8-mile walk. An amateur vision sounds like this: “I want to do a good walk today.”

Purpose, Process, Payoff (PPP).

While walking this morning i made this voice-dictated post:

When you tell someone that this (PPP) is important, they will probably be thinking to themselves “obviously”. Most people have done a push-up and know what a push-up is, but if you ask them right now to do a couple pushups, they probably couldn’t do it. Knowing what’s important and simple isn’t enough. You have to be able to do it, or it’s as if you’ve never heard of it. And if you don’t do it, you miss the benefits, all of the benefits, that come with doing the basics.

Spiritually curious

Curiosity took us to this lookout for the first time in 50 years.

Spiritually curious?

Yes.

Since forever ago…

Since i first started appreciating nature, the stars, the moon, the ocean, etc. Probably less than 10 years old when this began.

What happens when we die?

Can we die with peace and contentment?

Spiritual patience

Spiritual patience intuitively feels like my number one priority.

The devil doesn’t make us bad. The devil makes us busy.

Busy is the path of least resistance to impatience.

Impatience sucks stinks.

Life places consistent and unrelenting challenges in everyone’s daily path.

Using weather as a ‘weather ‘challenges’ analogy…

All of us experience good weather, okay weather, and bad weather.

There are occasional periods of extended ‘terrific’ weather.

There are occasional periods of extended ‘terrible’ weather.

Patience is easy in good weather.

It’s all the other weather that i wish to master.
