Looking forward to walking away

Midlife Celebration the book on Facebook
The designer nailed it on the first try

 

Meeting with graphic designer in a couple days.

Hope to walk away with a palette of logos for Mid Life Celebration.

Same designer that did a spectacular job on the book.

(when this post goes live in 100 days – Aug 15 – will we see the fruits of this labor?)

Rejoice in the struggle?

Church message
Rejoice in everything: our struggles, our demons, our awareness, our victories

 

Dear son, honestly never thought your dad would make it 100 consecutive days writing five daily blog posts about Life’s Big Choices.

Never thought he’d abandon drinking everyday either.

Crazy what motivation and purpose does to help one become decently organized.

This, son, is freedom…

Dear son, we’ve talked about all too common approval addiction in society and how the parental focus for us has been on you finding your worth in what you have accomplished, not in what someone else is pleased with.

It is in our self awareness that the approval from others is no longer necessary, nor even desired.

This, son, is freedom.

And joy.

Happiest of days.

The one phrase that haunts us

There is a simplicity to nature that we can learn a lot from. Animals do not have junk drawers.

 

The one phrase that haunts us:

But we may need it sometime.

This is true.

And rare.

The percentage of things we have that we never ever use again is astonishing.

Same with the percentage of things we will eventually need.

What we go through life never knowing is would the risk to shed our stuff lead us to a freedom and joy that is incomprehensible?

Anyone hoping to find out?
