Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“Come Monday, it’ll be all right. Come Monday, I’ll be holding you tight“.
Remember that song, Come Monday, by Jimmy Buffett? No worries if you don’t.
Jimmy Buffett is a master storyteller. I have every CD he’s made, except a few of his greatest hits and Live CD’s. All told, it’s like three dozen.
We are all story tellers, aren’t we?
Whether we admit it or not, we are.
I’m working really hard today, Monday, to tell a great story. You in? carpe diem, jeff 🙂
Hope you have a great Saturday.
While my wife and in-laws enjoy the Kentucky Derby, my son and I are spending the night at the Orlando Science Center for an educational sleepover.
Most of our Church’s Cub Scout pack are going. Should be fun.
Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
Mistakes!
We all make them. We all are “victims” of them. We can never escape that reality that we’ll continue to make more.
Maybe all we can hope for is two simple things.
1. To try to make fewer mistakes as we grow.
2. To forgive ourselves (and others) when a mistake happens.
Case in point, five minutes ago, at 6:47AM, I realized I’ve been working since 5:00Am, and forgot to kneel and pray after waking. Remember the post a few days ago where I challenged myself to start every day on my knees?
Anyway, I forgot this morning. So I simply forgave myself, walked back to the bedroom, knelt and prayed.
Easy.
Our dog followed me from our office to the bedroom. With my eyes closed, I could hear him enter. I extended my hand out.
I knew he would accept it and place his muzzle on my hand. Then he nestled right up next to me.
He’s so predictable. His love is an unconditional love. My goal in life is to become the kind of person he thinks I am.
Do you have a big goal? Hope so. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Why do I write five blogs every day?
Not sure exactly. Trying to figure it out actually.
Maybe this is why:
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For whatever measure you use, it will be measured to you”. — Luke 6:38
There’s a part of me that (probably falsely) believes if I pour myself out to try to make the world a better place, in my own small way, that God will protect my Family. Sort of like a trade off.
I pay the price to try to help others, so that my Family will receive whatever help it needs.
That was really sort of weird to write that. Not sure I like how it sounds. Maybe I shouldn’t post it.
For now, I will. I’m more afraid of not trying, than I am of making mistakes. This may be a mistake, but at least I tried.
Today may be a great day for you to try. Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
Great days are a dime a dozen.
I’ll take a nickel’s worth.
I love being able to write in several blogs every day.
It tests me on many different levels.
It teaches me on many different levels.
I’m humbled by both. Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
