Out of office alert at home

hotel website page
Got shut out at last year’s lottery. Yet somehow managed two multi-day reservations. A three-day in July i enjoyed before family arrived for annual trip. A four-night, season-closing res that we had to cancel due to eye surgery.

A healthy sense of urgency is the harvest for being fully present in the moment(s).

Out of office alert at home…

Cultural attention to details.

Who owns it, maintains it, improves it?

Like, who’s personally graded for consistently excellent results?

It’s important to remember and easy to forget that the road to excellence has no finish line.

This exercise was for a tiny Galen detail that hundreds of people do hundreds of different ways.

And from the exercise, now hundred’s are doing it one way — The Galen Way.

Can you start to imaging the magnification and opportunity to creatively have fun addressing anything and everything that you do day in and day out — for your entire career.

The goal is always to have more employees, doing better things, more often.

Launch, learn, revise. Repeat.

It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

Everything that is currently done the way it is done was once ‘never done that way’.

Organizational Creativity is the DNA of world-class organizations.

Nursing Education never turns down anyone with world class dreams.

Final note: OOO voice messages and OOO text messages need standards and expectations too.

Daily simplicity is a thing?

Man wearing a hat and glasses smiling
A few hours ago on today’s first three-mile walk. During the second three-mile walk, the hat, neckerchief, and sweatshirt weren’t worn.

The easier it is to remember, the easier it is to do. Prioritize your priorities.

One-hundred days of writing got me started.

A year of writing got me mildly confused.

A decade of writing solidified a scalable life.

A decade and a half of writing leaves me wanting for almost nothing.

How much more writing will be enjoyed before reaching nirvana?

Thrill of hope at home

Funny Christmas card
The card’s inside is as fun as it’s outside (above).
8-second video: Bananas flambé on Christmas Day (last night).

Fun needs to be a priority at home.

dad

Home is the one place in the world where we can, and should, count on peace. There are laws against disturbing the peace.

Peace is synonymous with rest. Hence, rest in peace.

Rest generally implies a slower pace, a less intense focus, relaxation.

Where does fun enter the ‘home’ equation’?

When?

How often?

Why?

Why not?

New bucket list item

Man sitting on ground in mountains
On 2024, hoping to wean myself off of ‘wanting’ to visit Glacier. Photo: waiting for the sun to climb over the Continental Divide (left & center horizon). Have my phone, freeze-dried breakfast skillet, spork, cup of hot water and a napkin. Life is great. My family joined me a week after this.

We judge ourselves on our intentions. Others judge us on our behaviors.

dad

Just started floating around the idea of making it a (higher) priority to want for nothing.

The Snowman may be my favorite Christmas ‘special’. Narrated by David Bowie.

It’s challenging to describe why The Snowman is my favorite “Christmas Special”.

There are no words spoken from the characters.

David Bowie, however, provides ethereal narration.
