Help me believe I’m someone worth dying for

clever water bottle message
Last night at the Cross Country pasta party – noticed this on the water bottle.

 

Help me believe i’m someone worth dying for.

You’ve got to believe.

Right?

You’re not just some wondering soul.

Correct?

You, yes you, you are someone worth dying for.

i am?

Thank you Jesus.

Stormy weather is part of nature (and life)

Sanibel Island Coconut Palm trees
From my office yesterday during “stormy” weather.

 

Stormy weather is part of nature (and life).

Acting all panicky when the sky turns dark is a learned response.

Anticipating and being prepared for stormy weather allows us to remain calm in the midst of nature’s onslaught.

Same with life’s onslaught.

Bad things happen to good people.

Makes a great case for living like you mean it.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Not for us.

Not for the people we love.

Sanibel sunset
The many faces of the 365 evenings it takes to make one circle around our Sun.

And let’s not forget about the mornings.

See a Senior graduate High School.

Do as much good, to as many people, as often as possible,.

Love my wife and Family like i mean it.

Reach the milestone 60th birthday.

Anything after that would be bonus time.

The last three sentences here (from today’s MLC post) are serendipitous.

It’s been following me for a few days and needs to be addressed

It’s been following me for a few days and needs to be addressed.

i can sense the personality differences between two people that are working closely with me.

There seems to be two obvious choices:

  1. Get stuck in the middle and become co-dependent.
  2. Stay out of it, but be clear that it needs to go away or someone will no longer fit on the team.

Hard choices.

At this point in life, clear expectations and clear accountability provide peace and contentment.

Life is too short to tolerate unprofessional behavior brought on by issues that are an adult’s responsibility to manage.

PS. Did i mention that in 10 days i turn 57. To remain true to a crazy, heretical dream, i will be living the final three years of a life redesigned to accomplish absolutely everything i want to accomplish based on an artificial deadline of my 60th birthday. This dream officially began on my 50th birthday, allowing for a decade to do everything in life without any regrets – using a “real” deadline to promote decision making (that would inevitably get postponed for “later”).
