Blogging’s hidden blessing, spirit

Daily, prolific blogging can eventually feel like a monkey on your back. Hopefully it’s Curious George, or Chapin.

On our honeymoon, bicycling through the Puget Sound before biking across Washington State. Blogging allows me the blessing of sharing what i want, when i want, in the way i want. Blogging allows me to do this prolifically too.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

Dear Son, loving yourself first teaches you how to love others.

Dear Son, teaching yourself first teaches you how to teach others.

Dear Son, forgiving yourself first teaches you how to forgive others.

Dear Son, being patient with yourself first teaches you how to be patient with others.

Dear Son, caring for your emotional health first, well, it teaches you how to care for others.

Dear Son, serving yourself first teaches you how to serve others.

Be well and remain amazed

Friends and family, so glad we came into each other’s lives.

For real.

Remember when we were younger, those promises we made to ourselves?

Pressure to get ahead.

Regrets.

The fear of you thinking I’m hoping you’ll buy this book is less than the fear of not letting you know the book exists.

Wrote it to our young son in case something bad ever happens and I’m not around.

Bathed in love, simple, focused, and very, very direct.

And it’s changing the way people think about their future.

We will either be an example or a warning.

Our life is not a dress rehearsal.

Be well and remain amazed.

Dear Son category reprise, spirit

God gave me an insatiable desire to .think .differently

Every good thing that humanity appreciates and enjoys today began as a dumb idea in the past.

Embrace your dumb ideas.

Be grateful you have them.

Starting with yourself, ignore the critics.

And go, transform and improve your world with your dumb ideas.

Dear Son category, spirit

Dear Son,

This category was created for anytime you might visit here. Rather than scan all the categories, you would always know one category was especially unique.

Note: There are different categories in each of the five blogs/websites. Also, there is a little (but not much) overlap in all five, such as “Dear Son” and “Quotes”, and “Questions”.

Grass clippings

Such a small token for a Disney Legacy Lifetime Achievement award. That’s the beauty, the art – simplicity.

Grass clippings was thought up on a summer vacation long ago and sketched on a Sanibel Island bar napkin.

Inspired by the smell of fresh cut grass, simpler times, and two young people madly in love with each other and their future.
