Do you ever ask yourself why you’re living like this?

Last night this photo was sent to me. On the right i circled the JJ and asked if it stands for “Jungle Jeff”.

When you think about how difficult challenging it is to keep up with everything in your life, do you ever pause and ask yourself, “Why am i living like this?”

And if you have asked yourself this on multiple occasions, what have you concluded?

Live for today, plan for the future

Many Glacier 1911
Many Glacier in 1911, before the Hotel was built.

 

i do not regret visiting Glacier National park five times this (2018) Summer.

And even though my “life contract” expires June 8, 2019, i am celebrating by planning to spend Summer 2019 at Glacier.

Gone-forever opportunity

18th birthday
The deadline coincided with seeing our son reach 18. This photo marked that accomplishment, two days ago.

 

As i approach the final six months of the original 10-year plan, and get closer to six months left until June 8, 2019, the intensity of wanting to teach is increasing to a new level.

Why?

Well, and i’ve been thinking about this for a month, there’s more at stake and less to lose.

Once you’re dead and gone, the opportunity, in person, is gone forever.

It’s the “gone forever opportunity” that is fueling the desire to get more real – or go to the grave with unspoken ideas, wishes, hopes, love.

What would you say if you gave a “last lecture”

Randy Pausch
Yesterday Facebook shared a memory – July 25 is the day in 2008 that Randy Pausch died.

 

A decade ago, Randy Pausch was famous for about a year.

He gave the infamous “Last Lecture” speech at Carnegie Mellon University where he was retiring.

He was retiring because he was going to die soon.

He wrote a book by the same name, before he died, to serve as a legacy for his three children (all under age seven).

Will your death be the third most magnificent day in your life?

Depends entirely on your beliefs.

Whatever you believe, my wish for you is that you believe like you mean it.

Yesterday was Jane’s funeral at Holy Family.

Larry, Jane’s husband and one of our Deacons, gave a wonderful tribute to Jane. Jane’s middle daughter, Katie, did the same.

It was beautiful.

Glorious even.
