You are free to stress or surrender.

dad

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Balancing stress against surrender should be overwhelming, 0% vs 100%.

In my life i have harbored stress and anxiety from unspoken expectations.

In my life i have surrendered to expectations being a shared adult responsibility.

i’ve spent several decades discerning what i can control and what i can’t.

Living in peace with my growth and matured beliefs.

i love being at peace putting my wife and son first.

First third of my life focused on me growing and having fun. Mostly a self-centered life. Most teens and college students are naturals at this.

The second third-and-a-half (40 years+-), entirely focused on career and serving others. Habitual, lifetime sacrifices because of Disney’s “We work while others play.”

Cheryl and i committed ourselves to subscribing to this philosophy.

It’s the Disney Way!

Now, in the small fraction of my life, since Covid and as a college student’s parent, life has transformed.

Subscribed to doing whatever i want, whenever i want.

Radically different life filters now.

This change is a confluence of events.

A ticking clock and a desire to “balance my books”.

In my giving, i receive. Same with you.

Feeding my soul emanates from serving.

Feeding my body emanates from our kitchen.

Daily writing has honed my desire, and ability, to feed my mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

In the 15 years of daily giving (writing) of my (precious) time, i receive.

Do the reps is ringing in my ears and heart right now.

Peace be with you.

In 1982 Ron Miller, Walt Disney‘s son-in-law, was our CEO. i wasn’t thinking about leadership in 1982 let alone ever coming back to Disney after my stint was done.

Two of the world’s most visionary leaders who led with the DNA of Walt Disney.

And then there’s me. At the bottom.

Bringing the Magic to life. Every day. All day.

It ain’t the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Can i get an “amen” from all my fellow Cast Members?

My step-mom died yesterday.

Said my goodbyes long ago.

She was declining for some time.

She moved into a Nursing Home months ago.

Eventually, and not too long ago, Hospice began assisting.

There’s stuff that is better left off this blog.

Why?

Because it’s at a personal level that at times like this, it just feels better to leave some things unwritten.

Enough said/written?

i hope so.

Peace be with you.
