If you could buy any gift in the world for me, what would you buy? Why?
If we lost everything we owned today, who would you be?
If we lost everything we owned today, what would you hope for?

Your emotions map

Mountain lake beach — One of my favorite beaches. Best stone skipping beach in the world.

Pile of small flat stones — Perhaps millions of small flat stones on a 400-meter-long beach.

mountain lake — Most of today’s photos are from Cheryl.

11-second video: A nice day for skipping stones. Not a bad location either.

Your emotions are your map. Your actions are your legacy.
dad

Feeling without growing is an incomplete way to live.

Balance life’s spiritual books

Cracked pipe lid — A weird break. Roughly 12 years old.

10-second video: Literally a miracle that i discovered the issue.

5-second video: This put my airport departure back an hour.

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.

Flying friendly skies

Flight map — The coordination to make this week happen is extraordinary.

Animation advertisement — Bluey will make his Goucher debut soon.

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

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”.

Feed what needs feeding

Homemade pizza — Last night. Feeding our bodies.

In my giving, i receive. Same with you.
dad

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.
