Time poor, spirit

Never stop learning because life never stops teaching. Stumbled upon an email from Pinterest, years ago.

My best friend and i claim this flower as a shared all-time favorite.

A humble light to the world was Steve’s wife. No one is immune from tragedy.

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?

Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.

You are living without any discretionary time.

No extra time to do something that isn’t required.

i want to create a new way of being with my discretionary time.

First i want discretionary time to explode.

Second, to increase discretionary time, my new ‘job’ is to eliminate or streamline everything that requires my time. The target is everything that feels like work.

Third, the extra discretionary time is to be spent making Cheryl (and myself) the center of my time expenditure.

The thing about everything, spirit

Isn’t it time your waiting is over? Yes. i planned to stop working. It’s finally here. Will that make me more patient?

The thing about everything is that everything takes longer than you plan.

Noteworthy, there’s an exception to nearly every rule.

Exceptions are rare.

We plan to be patient, forgiving, faithful.

Easy to plan for it when you haven’t been tested incessantly for decades.

And yes the tests last a lifetime, as far as i can discern from nearly seven decades here.

The goal for peace with who i am and being content with what i have isn’t a deathbed hope. It’s a hope, goal, and reality, daily.

Now.

Today.

Daily.

Until i die, whenever that may be.

It may take longer than i plan.

Time, spirit

Summer 2025. Probably the final group visit. Why? Time.

As the ‘boys’ get older, the reality is present that their adult journey will make scheduling a summer week in Northwest Montana adjacent to the Canadian boarder as challenging as any ‘family gathering’ .

Yesterday, spirit

Our spirit is a key driver in creating our ’emotional environment”.

God is a word i use as a net to catch all ‘religions’, including no religion. Every human has the capacity to choose what ‘grounds them’ emotionally. Many call their choice, “God”.

Didn’t cover all eight in today’s photos but came close.

The bolded top statement. Everyone at Advent Health can recite this at will.

Advent Health is the only non-Disney organization i’ve experienced where every employee knows their common purpose.

Note: My experience comes from getting to know some 2,000 various organizations, to varying degrees of depth, since 1999 when i started teaching at Disney Institute.

Busy squared

Took this photo yesterday and texted it to Cheryl. Requested two more bags. Didn’t know i’d be using the word devil and 6-6-6.

The devil doesn’t make us bad. The devil makes us busy.
