Taking risks is risky

Taking risks is risky.

So is playing it safe.

We are neither Baptist nor non-denominational.

But we do love Jesus.

One Church is a few hundred meters from our home, the other is half-way (1.5 miles) between our home and High School.

Our Parish of 17 years is 13 miles, and 20 minutes, away. Doesn’t sound like much but for us it’s a lot.

Can we manage while our anchor is away

Will the flowers sprout before she returns home?

Cheryl flew to Disneyland yesterday morning. For work. Tough life.

The next two weeks, Chapin and i will manage our daily routine with a 33.3% workforce reduction.

The things we’ll miss, that Cheryl does, have to be accounted for and handled.

And all the while, we must remain in thriving mode, not surviving mode.

Is this possible?

If we have great habits going into the reduction, no problem.

If we don’t, well, you do the math.

(Update 30 days later, the seeds haven’t germinated.)

Keep overwhelm at bay

food choice quote
From Twitter yesterday. Author unknown.

 

Keep overwhelm at bay.

Because if i don’t, i can see first hand what my life will be like.

Observe people 20, 30 and 40 years ahead of you.

When they were your current age, were they doing what you are doing?

Or, were they not doing what you’re doing?

Mentally, physically, spiritually, career-wise, and at home?

What does it sound like when you change your spirit?

Morning traffic at campus today. There is no bus service.

 

Windermere Prep morning campus traffic
We always arrive early. Always.

 

What does it sound like when you change your spirit?

We arrived early for school drop off like we always do.

Because of the cold temperature (for Central Florida), we agreed to wait in the warm car for 20 minutes before first period.

We observed things we never see.

Most cars are upscale cars.

Most are new, or newer.

Our 2002 Camry might be an anomaly among non-staff vehicles.

Asked our son as we were sitting in our warm car, “Do you think if there was a list of all the parent’s and student’s cars, ours would win for being the oldest?”

A changing spirit sounds like peace and contentment.

Peace with who you are and content with what you have.

Hidden Mickey?

 

Creativity has no option but to flourish.

Literally devastated with the realization the pain has some deeply-rooted, still undiscovered cause.

Meanwhile, life goes on.

Bicycled home, ate breakfast, and then biked to Magic Kingdom to get Mickey Mouse birthday buttons for the Family.
