HQ Thanksgiving, reprise

20-second video: Florida’s Turnpike provided smooth driving all the way. Grateful for that.

Three adults by Miami Beach lifeguard stand — A 20-minute drive from hotel. A three minute walk to the restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner.

HQ is anywhere you are. Travel light. Always pack your priorities first.
dad

Dwell your way to gratitude.

Train yourself to use your prioritized priorities to habitually be grateful in the present moment.

We come to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving when we learn to celebrate it everyday.

Tell me about today and next year

Gray cat sleeping — Matthew. Catching some zzzz’s.

Tell me about today and next year.
dad

Today, and next year, i am focused on being grateful.

All 366 days, from the moment i awoke/awake.

To the moment sleep takes its turn, all 366 nights.

You don’t have to

Artwork painted on a wall of an ostrich, with its head in the sand — Restaurant wall art at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Proverbial “head in the sand“ image.

You don’t have to change the world. But it might be fun trying.

Writing a book, and especially publishing a book, may be some of the greatest fun in my life.

The 100-day blogging challenge that began April Fools’ Day 2009, created a daily writing habit that continues to this day.

One-hundred days, which was a foolish (impossible) goal, has lasted over 15 years (and growing).

i didn’t have to keep writing.

In fact, i never intended to keep writing.

Yet here we are.

It’s been a remarkably fun ride.

Disney Keynote Speaker, Jeff Noel when he was a young boy — Enthusiasm is a superpower. This is me at (cousin) Redwood’s house. Circa mid to late 60’s.

Happy present moment.
dad

Enjoy your journey through life.

Never lose your childhood enthusiasm to have fun and explore what’s possible.

My goal in the photo was is to see how many pogo-stick bounces i could do in a row.

Don’t recall the actual record, but i distinctly remember thinking 1,000 would be epic.

Ps. Never owned a pogo stick, so practicing was never in the equation.
