Inconvenience is a blessing

Inconvenience is a blessing. Will have to address the punctured tire today. This will require several unanticipated hours of distraction.

The blessing is it wasn’t something:

Worse
Much worse
Catastrophic

Other blessings include:

A flexible work schedule
A creative mind
A backup car to use

The list is endless.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Desirable often comes with the less desirable, and vice versa

Lake McDonald view — Lake McDonald never disappoints no matter how many times you see it.

The west side is different; busier, commercial, but the the views…oh my. The delicate balancing act of life is ensuring that we take the desirable with the less desirable.

What is ridiculously easy can also be insanely difficult

Highland Trail hike — So beautiful on the first 400 meters of flat, wide trail.

A narrow trail is not a big deal on the ground, but move it up several hundred or a thousand feet and it can potential paralyze you with fear.

Can’t take back what i said

2016 first Florida tropical storm — Stormy weather (yesterday’s radar) is happening physically and spiritually.

Can’t take back what i said.

How’s it going, i asked while we were washing out hands at the sink in the gym bathroom.

Not so good, he said, my dad has Alzheimers and we just found out he has (kidney?) cancer, and i recently called in hospice.

How old is your dad?

Eighty-seven.

No one lives forever was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

i had invisibly done rapid-fire calculations and deductions in my head and instantaneously thought…87 is a long life. i know many people, my dad and grandfather to name just two, who would have thought 87 was more than a gift.

Sure, death is obviously the end of an earthly relationship. As we age, we have to see (and prepare for) this coming. And how we live with this reality (everyday) in large part determines how we view the separation that death brings.

The paradox of Mother’s Day

A special wish and prayer for very special women in the world…

The paradox of Mother’s Day (two days ago) is there are some women who will not have (and maybe never have had) the privilege and joy of having children to wish them a wonderful day.

So as the majority are celebrating, a hope that these incredible women are surrounded with strength and peace that this day does not limit them in any way.
