Clued In or Clueless?
And if I have to explain it to you, you probably won’t either.
But here’s a hint, there is no guarantee in tomorrow.

Most People Don’t Get It

Will It?
There’s a secret to life not many people recognize, and even fewer talk about.
Know what it is?
Being organized.
And the “yeast” that makes being organized work, is simplification.
Complicated processes are a slow poison to our souls.
It’s odorless, colorless, tasteless, silent and completely invisible.
Wake up calls, a mentor, a higher purpose, and maybe one other thing are the catalyst to transformational change.

The Tree Gets It
We can not fully begin to live until we are fully prepared to die.
Once you figure out what this means, you’re life will become extraordinary.
But not until then.
The Dog That Stole Jesus’ Sandal

One Final Walk on Feb. 13, 2010
Do you day dream?
I mean sometimes, do you day dream so big that it surprises you?
Yesterday, I had a daydream that our beloved Canine Son Carter, an 11-year old Yellow Lab stole one of Jesus’ sandals.
We laid Carter to rest yesterday morning, Valentine’s Day.
It was a glorious moment when the image of Carter meeting Jesus and licking Jesus’ face so much with affectionate kisses that Jesus finally had to laugh and say, “OK Carter, enough, that’s enough already.”
And Carter obeyed. But quickly grabbed one of Jesus’ sandals and began his favorite game – keep away.
Dream big today, no matter your circumstance. Try not to let any thing or any one deprive you of your most glorious day dream.
The Dance

Heading back to the vet to check on Carter.
All that’s in my mind right now is this Garth Brooks song, The Dance.
The pain that is being felt and the pain that will continue to swell, is worth every minute we spent together.
However, on the other hand, the pain is beginning to cut so deeply, but so slowly, that I hear myself thinking, “I’m never getting another Dog.”
“The pain of saying goodbye is too much for a human heart to bear.”
Most Amazing Gift?

Most Amazing Gift?
What is the most amazing gift you’ve ever received, besides the gift of life?
This should be much easier than trying to pick a favorite song.
It took me days to pick a song that would be featured on a soundtrack, if our life ever became a movie. Days.
But today’s question is a no brainer. Instantaneous answer.
Guaranteed
Friday, December 18th, 2009Ain’t much in life guaranteed, is there? Death and taxes, to be sure.
Death.
That’s the one.
What a beautiful gift death should be.
Just like what a beautiful gift birth should be.
And the beautiful gift of the part called “life” – in between the two.
And here’s one more thing that’s guaranteed – life will be difficult.
Guaranteed.
And this simple fact presents us with the most glorious opportunity known to humankind.
Carpe diem.
When’s Your Funeral?
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Morbid thought or inspirational thought?
Inspirational thought!
Why?
Because when we realize that tomorrow is not guaranteed, perhaps we will put more focus on today.
Looks good on paper, but is incredibly elusive. The whole “live in the moment” thing is very challenging to do.
Have you ever tried it? I mean, day after day, after day. Month after month, after month….
My Friend Said This
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009“To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know”. — jeff’s friend
Said another way: “Common sense needs to be common practice”. – jeff noel
Otherwise, it’s like we don’t even know what common sense is.
Yes, this is painful to admit. Yes, it’s not easy to apply common sense. Yes, our lives will become better (not perfect) if we apply more common sense to our lives. Yes, it’s completely up to us. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem!
