To me, burden can be synonymous with challenge or opportunity. That’s how i choose to use the word.

Humility can be earned and honed as you age.

Aging.

Advantage or disadvantage?

In my (humble, hopefully) opinion, aging is an emotional blessing.

Hard stop.

(and the context is you’re living with a growth mindset)

The longer you live, the more you see what matters and what doesn’t.

When i was younger and trying to climb the work ladder, i was deeply, even obsessively, worried about what others thought of me.

Now?

Not a chance!

In hell. Not a snowball’s chance in hell!

Time (aka aging) is a remarkable teacher, coach, mentor, friend.

Aging is cool.

Happy present moment.

Before one of us starts to forget, spirit

Before one of us starts forgetting, i’d like to start remembering…

  • Our first wondering about ‘what if’.
  • Our first realization for marriage.
  • Our first trip to Sanibel’s West Wind Inn.
  • Our first trip to Sanibel’s Mitchells Sand Castles.
  • Our first time burying a pet.
  • Our first Mass.
  • Our first time holding hands.
  • Our first realization we couldn’t have children.
  • Our first IVF protocol.
  • Our first child’s birth.

An aging spirit

An aging spirit is a…

Gift.

Challenge.

Opportunity.

Final exam.

Ps. Repetition is the mother of all learning.

Pss. To know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know.

Interesting time in life, spirit

11-second video: Two Sand Hill Cranes walking on our driveway today.
6-second video: Rare, and special, to see them bathing.

Interesting time in life.

When are you gonna die?

Trying to get it down to this: No idea, but if it’s tomorrow, i’m all set.

Interesting time in life, indeed.

Reeling in the years

Apple Watch fitness app
Third pic. Sitting down for a short break after walking for 150 minutes. Almost noon. Wrote five blogs (the Super Bowl ones) before heading out.

Live like you mean it.

Simple.

Easy to ignore.

Easy to forget.

And then the deathbed…

Note: Reeling in the years is a great Steely Dan song.
