Blog anniversary (not) in GNP, home

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.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Organizing well is a privilege

It is a privilege to sort out your priorities.

Having priorities is common.

However, prioritizing your priorities is not common.

But you know that what is common sense is rarely common.

You strive to be a common person.

What a privilege to be organized.

To not is to dismiss your privilege.

Why?

If it ain’t obvious, imagine living your lifetime in a fashion opposite of being organized.

Which is more difficult, living with discipline or living with regret?

What an authentic personal privilege to organize your personal culture (your lifetime habits) outcomes. You get to discern what is common sense; what any rational person would say is a ‘no-brainer’ outcome.

Feels good at home

It’s not lost on me that this could have happened in Montana.

Perhaps even more challenging, it could have happened on a hard trail while hiking alone.

Feeling good having home-court advantage to weather this storm.

Home ambition

post it note to-dolist — Top left, last night’s date. List for today’s ‘home’ work. There’s a work/life balance in these names.

Personal vibrancy is your most ambitious ‘home’ project. Personal vibrancy comes from ambitiously prioritized priorities.
dad

Discipline is freedom.

Discipline starts with focus.

Focus starts with a clear, concise, and compelling vision.

Bonus: All 3 sentences apply professionally (obviously), but also equally on the personal life side.

Not Back to Glacier, home

Looking up at a bird on a wire — The blessing of sight. The blessing of a flexible neck. The blessing of curiosity. The blessing of presence. The blessing of appreciation. The blessing of symbiosis. The blessings of gratitude and surrender. Photo: Spring 2023, looking up at a Cardinal during a morning walk. Cardinals are generally skittish. To be directly beneath one is rare. i enjoyed it so much, the photo was taken as proof of that present moment.

If i started writing a list of all the things i’m grateful for, it would never be finished.
dad

Hearing the Cardinal’s ‘singing’ got my attention. Expecting the Cardinal to fly away, imagine the surprise standing underneath it while it continued it’s chirping.
