Weathering life’s storms

Have fun being right. Embrace being wrong. Learn from both.

Tomorrow’s drive, with tonight’s pathway, is six-plus hours.

i’m calling it eight hours, simply by adding two hours to Google Map’s estimate.

Then there’s the wild card…

We are heading South and will collide into a late-season Gulf of Mexico weather event that’s creeping up the East Coast.

Time will tell how driving conditions unfold.

We could have left yesterday and avoided the challenge.

But departing yesterday at 6:30 AM felt rushed.

So we stayed an extra day and enjoyed the laid-back pace.

Hitting save on this post right now to finish today’s five blogs.

T-minus 50 minutes to “wheels-up”.

C-ya!

Simple, key, repeatable messages.

Never get bored with the basics.

Do the basics brilliantly.

The quote above could have a second sentence…

“ You are the only one who can ensure this.”

Fun fact: Cheryl found the ‘lost’ AirPods on our closet floor, behind the door.

They had been in my jeans pocket and after placing jeans over a hanger, they fell out of the pocket. i had checked the pockets (and a dozen other probable places) but not the floor.
