Fully grounded in reality?

Disney Keynote Speakers
Strength in numbers, right? We are more alike than not alike.

 

Today’s all-day session will begin with an hour of client-led content and then i lead the second piece that takes us to mid-morning break.

The first thing i share after saying good morning pleasantries is this, “Everyone in this room, myself included, is in one of three places. Going through a hell no one knows about, just came out of a hell no one knew about, or is, unbeknownst to them, about to go into a hell no one will know about. And some of us are in two, possibly all three of these places. So please know when i start talking about Magic, pixie dust, and excellence, i’m fully grounded in reality.”

i’m fascinated by the spiritual results of setting a 10-year deadline.

Closer to peace and contentment than i’ve ever been.

Feeling, pretty much, like if tomorrow is the end, i’m good to go.

Would really like to make it back home (from Glacier) in five days, but nothing in life (“except death and taxes”) is guaranteed.

We know this.

Nursing homes really make you think

i wondered what the tree looked like from the trunk up.

Remarkably similar.

 

Nursing homes really make you think.

What do we envision our final years being comprised of?

No one really plans on a nursing home.

But if that’s the hand we’re dealt, how would we respond to daily life, knowing this was the final home for us – never would there be any other option.

Of course, Hospice is probable, but you would most likely remain in the nursing home.

i love feeling uncomfortable with thoughts like these.

The best time to concern ourselves with stuff like this is when we don’t need to be.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?

Bruce Springsteen
Bruce was becoming an American icon about the same time i was becoming friends with Cheryl (1979).

 

Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?

Maybe.

Can’t recall the last time.

A simple gesture gave me hope yesterday.

The wait of 37 years came with no expectation.

Hope that i am changing in order to be a better nursing home visitor.
