No photo today. On purpose.

One blessing from being bed-ridden (double hernia surgery) is the opportunity to watch this Apple’s WWDC (World-Wide Developers Conference) from June 10, 2013.

And the art of emotional connection.

Having a partner you can count on helps with personal organization. We know this.

But not until serious illness or injury is it brought home in a way that literally brings us to our knees.

Cheryl, thank you for:

  • driving me to hospital for surgery
  • staying for hours to take me home
  • representing our Family at Mike’s Celebration of Life
  • mowing the grass
  • cooking
  • fetching
  • cleaning
  • caring
  • supporting
  • encouraging

This is just in the past few days.

  • survive
  • thrive

Life’s fine print reveals this struggle opportunity reality lasts a lifetime.

The harder we work, the more luck favors us.

It’s debatable, yet I’ve found a focused, balanced approach yields far greater luck percentages than hoping and wishing.

A new bed arrived yesterday afternoon. Talk about timing.

Seriously.
