The loss of slowness

florida living
Yesterday afternoon’s nap location. The rain encouraged me to sit outside, and eventually, convinced me to close the MacBook and get comfortable. That sign, upper right…

Going-To-The-Sun Road. T-minus 10 days.

 

The loss of slowness.

The rarity of quiet contemplation.

The battle between the overwhelm, distraction, connectivity – and – solitude, reflection, and peace.

Where does this battle leave you in your day-to-day?

Are you ok with it?

Still fighting for victory?

Given up?

What’s your next move?

Hurry, the clock is ticking.

Love and planning are not mutually exclusive

Yesterday afternoon, i placed a security camera here to see if we have a critter in our porch attic.

While on the ladder, i looked up and was struck by this rare perspective.

 

Mother’s Day is nine days away.

Several days ago i ordered a couple vases of flowers for a few moms i know.

The flowers will arrive on Tuesday so they can enjoy the flowers the week leading up to next Sunday.

Today is Friday, May 4.

Love and planning are not mutually exclusive.

The peace and contentment emanating from being proactive is challenging to describe.

While not perfect, i am much better at over-focusing on things i used to under-focus on or ignore.

When is the best time to say goodbye to a loved one?

Yellow Dog Eats
Yesterday inside our lunch location. PS. Every day is a good day to talk openly about life and all it means.

When is the best time to say goodbye to a loved one?

My theory is “sooner rather than later”.

Live a life that seizes your days and the people closest to you are crystal clear about how you feel about them.

Carry no baggage.

Do what you have to do

Apple Genius Bar
Love taking “this-moment-in-time” photos. Date and location stamped.

Impact damage.

Additional damage… you can look closely to see the long single crack from bottom to top.

 

Do what you have to do.

And do it while remaining patient, kind, generous, forgiving, and compassionate.

Then today will be a very good day.

Too busy (and too tired) for Church

inspiring social media quote
Yesterday on social media. Can’t recall which. Might have been LinkedIn.

 

Too busy (and too tired) for Church.

To be honest (as teens say, tbh), every step we take can be “Church”.

The photo above reminds me of that.

To be grateful for your own smile is overlooked – why would we focus on it, it’s so easy to do and so frequent.

Why would we focus on the smile of another looking at us?

Why focus on another who’s smiling but not looking at us?

The answer seems so obvious to me at this stage of my life.

All those years (decades) of being oblivious to how gratitude is the source of so much power over the devil.

To which i say, “Better late than never.”
