Today is yesterday’s “tomorrow”.
Same thing happens tomorrow when you think about the promises you made to yourself today.
There’s beauty in knowing this.
How?
Once keenly aware, you can hone your habits so you don’t have to make promises for tomorrow.

Took just one photo while we were stopped. i was the last ATV in a train of eight.
Paid for a minor fender bender. Note: We sat under this amazing pair of Sea Grape trees.
7-second video: Midway we stopped for a short tour of a “typical” residence. They use propane now. Before propane, they used a fire like here.17-second video: Multiple buildings for: sleeping, eating, cooking, bathroom. There is a primitive septic drain field in this video.3-second video: Homestead tour concludes and we are resuming the ATV experience. 12-second video: Our private lounge — an upper-level Carnival loyalty perk. It begins with the “balcony pool” and goes 25 lounge chairs to the right. Then a long row of stateroom cabanas all the way to the ship’s front.
Would you rather have a trivial public embarrassment, or a significant private embarrassment?
The longer i live the less i get embarrassed.
Why?
Everyone “screws up”. Everyone.
Private significant screwups can last a lifetime.
Trivial public screwups are over soon after they happen.
The Universe is kind like that. Grateful for the cosmos.

Your prioritized priorities are the most honest autobiography you’ll ever write.
Todays posts inspired by this from Farnam Street:
“Your calendar is the most honest autobiography you’ll ever write. It doesn’t matter what you say your priorities are; your calendar reveals the truth. Each block is a decision about what matters, stripped of pretense and rationalization. Your calendar isn’t just recording your time—it’s exposing your lies.”

This glass-sided pool is on Deck 8. It is home to the private pool, a small tiki bar, and an outdoor lounge area. We spend all our Sea Day’s time here.
11-second video: Video shows a portion of our private lounge. It is shared with other Havana Club guests. The family we are traveling with is platinum level. They know the ropes. We ride on the coattails of their Carnival brand loyalty.9-second video: Up past my bedtime.Viva Las Vegas! Elvis, baby.
Today was a great day.
Viva the present moment.
