Home vibrancy is the manifestation of how you consistently are the last to be impacted and the first to recover from adverse conditions.

Home vibrancy is the manifestation of how you consistently make the best decisions using your prioritized priorities.
Of all the people you know, you are the most positive, healthiest, most peaceful and content, most remarkable at your work, and the most organized.
Having prioritized priorities is fun.
Never regret not having more fun than seems reasonable.
There’s a time to postpone fun. It will be an exception to the rule.
The rule is to make having fun a habit. Every day. All day.

A few minutes ago, it dawned on me that the paperwork of life can frequently feel overwhelming because there’s so much to do.
You create a life, get married, start a career, buy a house, buy a bunch of stuff to make your house a home, perhaps raise some children, and as you approach and arrive at midlife, you start to question everything.
Back to that thought i had a few minutes ago, we habitually race through all the administrative and decision-making tasks. And i thought what if we could streamline life so that every task that we had to do and decision we had to make we could be fully present for it and enjoy it and appreciate it in a way that racing never reveals?

Everything is a blessing when you employ a growth mindset.

You know what?
So grateful to have prioritized priorities.
Had to cancel a four-night Sperry Chalet reservation this morning.
(a blessing on so many levels)
Cheryl and i are tickled at the ‘tradition’ we started three years ago.
(another blessing on so many levels)
We got lucky and were able to spend the final three nights at Sperry in 2021. Last year, 2022, we went big and spent the final four night at Sperry.
(ditto on the blessing thing)
Missing our new ‘tradition in 2023’ will take psychological pressure off me to try and balance timing of a trip with my body’s natural timetable for healing.
(another blessing on so many levels)
Ps. Able to gift (i’m well past any refund window) tomorrow’s two-night Granite Park Chalet to a GNP reservation agent. Offered it to several people, based on ‘seniority’ of me knowing them. Taylor, the GNP Reservation agent, is someone i’ve never met. However, his leader, who i invited, is unable to go and she recommended Taylor who’s had it on his bucket list the past two Summers.
(double-ditto on the blessing thing)

i have no idea how an impossible 2009 April Fools Day, 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp challenge morphed into the start of a 16th consecutive year in 2024.

It’s not impossible that i write five daily, differently-themed blog posts until the day i die.
