Gratitude

Another photo from the homeowners dock. Quite a lovely place for a phone call.

When we drove to Epcot for dinner two days ago, a car pulled out in front of us while we traveled at 55-mph (88-kph).

Was grateful for so many things:

  • Eyesight
  • Being able to drive
  • Being with family
  • Able to go to Epcot for dinner on a moment’s notice
  • Having three seconds in the day to “lose” from the slowdown
  • Having well-maintained roads, everywhere
  • No one got hurt
  • Nothing was damaged
  • Was driving the speed-limit
  • Having an adult mindset to focus on gratitude, not “poor driving judgement”
  • Seeing the long line of vehicles behind us and realizing the driver made a practical move

Classic good vs evil

Yesterday in Southwest Florida. Palm tree reflection is intentional. We enjoyed the movie’s debut yesterday.

May the force for good be with you.

All day, today.

All day, everyday.

Where do wrinkles find joy?

Smiling faces on two of my favorite people.

Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been.

Wisdom only goes where the fear has been.

Joy only goes where the gratitude has been.

Peace only goes where the surrender has been.

Contentment only goes where the attachment has been.

How cool is it to love wrinkles versus seeing wrinkles as bad?

Social media

TEDx Boca Raton had an audience participation station in the reception lobby – a giant iPhone and everyone was encouraged to take a selfie. This is a photo of it happening in real time.

Social media as the claim was made in one of yesterday’s TEDx Talks:

Social media is making us less social.

TEDx Speaker

i disagree.

Social media has made us less personal when we are face to face.

yours truly

When we are alone, social media has made us exponentially more social.

yours truly (again)

Ultimately, like nutrition, exercise, and rest, it comes down to our motivation to be wise about our choices.

Who’s feeling compelled to argue that social media is killing our relationships? Many.

Who’s feeling compelled to argue that being inactive is killing our bodies? Only a handful (like yours truly).

The beauty of paradox

Good list to carry with you all day, every day.

The beauty of paradox is that you can think and see things that few think and see.

My definition of paradox is that there are two ends of a spectrum.

One end is the status quo and the other is a dark and lonely place no one visits.

The dark and lonely place is my favorite.

Why?

Because breakthroughs reside there.

What if every step we take is “Church”?
