Goodness, home

Water bottle and a red flower inside a mailbox — Cheryl returned from her routine morning walk with our neighbor and found a red hibiscus flower waiting for her. Cheryl always places her water bottle in our mailbox before she and Joanne start. Goodness is consistently (but not daily) going the extra inch like this.

Goodness at home is the same as goodness at work. Appreciation is always podium-level home goodness.

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.

Thankful for HQ

Family gathering group picture — Before Guests started to depart, we grabbed a group photo. Six of us (of the 15 here) have been to Glacier together.

10-second video: Before folks left, wanted to grab a short “live” shot of the Thanksgiving Day connection, yesterday.

Home and HQ are synonymous.

The degree to which we are intention in running our HQ is directly proportional to the degree to which we are thankful for our level of personal vibrancy results.

Thanksgiving at home

Thanksgiving at home?

Yes.

i am giving thanks at home.

All day.

Everyday.

Decades ago i realized ‘giving thanks’ should be an everyday event. And, it should last all our waking hours.

Speed limit mindset, home

Speed limit mindset at home?

How much is enough?

If Disney Ran Your Life…

Everything matters. Nothing is optional.

Have fun.

Set the bar to its highest level for everything.

Push boundaries.

~~Break~~ Redefine rules.

Don’t strive to have priorities, strive to have prioritized priorities.

Find a million ways to adapt to the way your desire and your weirdness projects itself.

At your peak, no one will even know you are weird. And they also won’t know how, even to this day, you are pushing the envelop on personal vibrancy.

Prioritized priorities are better than unprioritized priorities.

Mirror of my lifetime, home

What do i see in the mirror of my lifetime at home?

Casual.

Curious.

Shy.

Active.

Sports.

Cross-country, solo bicycle ride with only $75 cash and no tent.

Married.

Poor. But won a low-interest mortgage lottery for low income, first-time homebuyers (1985).

Health was almost always top priority – it’s the only thing i was really good at.

Then work at Walt Disney World became top priority.

Parenting looked hopeless.

Then a priority realignment.

Then teaching at Disney Institute, 1999 start (1999-2014).

Then parenthood, 2000.

Converted from (inactive) Lutheran to active Catholic, also 2000.

Then daily writing in 2009.

Then early retirement (2014) from Disney to start my own (risky, never-guaranteed) keynote speaking business (2014-2026) to have more control of my global travel schedule.

Empty-nester.

Personal vibrancy.

Sunset of life.
