If you knew you were dying

Yesterday a Facebook update with photos (photoshopped?) of a frail Steve Jobs contained something the update claimed Steve Jobs said.

Whether Steve Jobs actual said this or not, it’s true.

“If you knew you were dying, what would you change? My advice? Start your change today. You are dying. And it will be wonderful if you don’t have regret for not coming alive when you had the chance.”

John W Jolin is a Churchgoer and Family man

What follows are photos i took with my iPhone while using Google to understand the reputation and character of someone i had just met. In a busy, pressure-filed world, i knew if i didn’t create a post like this (research notes if you will), i’d probably lose the essence from Google’s treasure trove.

No expectation that anyone reads the text in the photos; however, it does paint an interesting picture.

Different angles on the same image

Honeymoon bicycle trip
We had been married 14 months before this bicycle honeymoon in August 1984.

Daisies are our favorite flower, 1984.

 

Different angles on the same image:

The image of hardly attending Church this Summer.

Two trains of thought:

i’m a bad person because i’m not fulfilling a sacred obligation to demonstrate my faith.

i’m smart to take a Summer sabbatical after 15 years, to help me appreciate what i’m missing and what i had.

Midlife perspective can be transformational.

But only if we enjoy enough solitude to be able to notice.

Can everyday be Flag day?

Homeowner's American Flag
The original American Flag went up June 11, 2001.

 

Flag day was two days ago, and yesterday morning before the Foundation Academy High School tour, shot this photo.

We’ve been in our current home 23 years. Cheryl used to change the flag seasonally…Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer themed flags. In June 2001 she put up an American Flag. Three months later (9/11), she decided to not put up a Fall themed flag.

One theme. Fourteen consecutive years.
