It all started with a retina tear

Dr Gokul Kumar — Everything starts somewhere.

I hope we never lose sight that everything started with a Mouse.
Walt Disney

So ironic that right after returning from a month-long 2023 Summer visit i lost left-eye eye sight.

And yesterday, right after getting an excellent eye exam, we are days away from returning to Glacier.

How cool is that?

Think about it for a minute

Conference presenter — Regina is the CEO and reached out to me with an offer i historically turn down. However, her initial email front-loaded answers to all my questions and i agreed to it.

Security camera clip screen — The dream since 2009 when i started the business was to leave my driveway and return on the same day. This is an example of a vision realized.

If you can’t recall what’s important in your own words, how will another’s words guide your life, your passion?

Thinking about it?

What?

This post’s title.

Think about it for a minute.

Are you using your own homemade life-recipe or something off-the-shelf?

Home altitude

toy Stitch figurine in mountains — Hope to see this again (Autumn on GTTSR) in 2024. Missed it in 2023.

The beauty in prioritizing daily writing is simple. You get to explore life deeper and broader than 99.99% of humanity.
dad

i’m gonna die soon and this acknowledgment has freed me to say whatever comes to mind. No filter. No expectations. No worries.

And…

And i have established a “private” structure and process for prolifically saying what’s on my mind.

The beauty is i could care less if anyone reads this.

i write for three people: me, Cheryl, and our son.

So if you’re reading this, i hope what is thought about, and written for those three people, perhaps helps you .think .differently about everything.

Can totally see this being tomorrow’s lead off quote here.

First time for everything

Pandora street — Disney’s attention to detail is extraordinary.

Pandora — Continued ‘obsessive’ attention to detail.

family by Disney Tree of Life — If Michael’s head was a clock, at 1-o’clock, almost touching his head is a Kangaroo. First time ever, since DAK opened in 1998, seeing a Kangaroo here.

After leaving Michael and Cheryl to head home (we had separate cars), the Kangaroo stood up.

Every new year is an adventure for the ages.
dad

Bob Dylan said, He who is not busy being born is busy dying.

How you see each new year is how you see your life.

This is an easy to overlook insight.

Why?

Because it’s an uncomfortable idea to think about and an uncomfortable conversation for unmotivated people to have with themselves.

Same but different

Mountain lake — Same room balcony, different day.

Glacier is always the same place yet each year, each day, is different. i love it!
dad

We will always view 2024 as the most unique Glacier year ever. How do i know this before May 2024?

Just a feeling.

Led by two visits before Summer even starts.

“Never before” is a cool way to start something (special).
