Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Still cleaning up and hoping nothing died.
Today’s thread is driven by ‘every’ Florida homeowner’s landscaping challenges and opportunities.
And in the hoping, freedom and peace.
Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.
It’s a lot of effort to do the impossible, but it’s also fun.

In response to yesterday’s post I can hear the echoes from a few, “But it’s too difficult. I don’t like doing it. It’s no fun for me”.
Play hard or go home. Just do it. The long way is the short cut. In everything give thanks….

Are there things in your life that are difficult to talk about? Things that scare you to talk about?
Me too. But not as much lately. Why? Because of things that have happened and the lessons learned.
Namely, becoming a parent. And thinking about the type of parent a child should have, there are a few key concepts that seem all too obvious to practice well.
Being honest.
On our sunset walk the other night, with our Dog, our son and I talked about random things. Clouds. The sky’s color. The cold air. His “winter” clothing. Sounds we heard. Jokes. Junk.
And then for some reason, as we were turning off the road and through the woods to our house, I saw Carter, our yellow Lab (10), come following behind us.
“You know Carter’s not going to live forever, right? All things die. Carter will die some day. You know this right?”
It felt like the right moment to say that, mostly because of a recent conversation with a death expert.
This “death expert” works in Hospice and Palliative Care. She mentioned that her vision would be that everyone in her community would “die well”, not just her company’s “customers”.
It hit me in a weird, but glorious sort of way. Her honesty. Her frankness. Her ease in talking about death.
Eureka!
If we are aware and not too afraid, we can help Carter die well. We should start thinking about it before we need to.
Same goes for humans.
Oh, you know what, there are probably exceptions to when and whom we get to forgive.
Is that it? Is that what you think?
PS. Do you sometimes wonder if God ever has a tough time deciding?
Pray without ceasing. It rolls off our tongues so easily.
But do we?
Do we actually do it?
This is one of the biggest challenges humans face and the main reason we are so disconnected from what we want and from what we actually get.
Ever wonder what you’d get if you actually DID pray without ceasing?
Find a million ways to do this – to stay in the moment. Those continuous, seemingly insignificant moments that make up our day. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. Year after year.
