What’s the first thing you do upon returning home from an amazing trip? Unpack?

Anticipating hugs and then a jump in the pool.

May not even remove shoes or cloths. We’ll see.

The soft echo of ‘give yourself a pat on the back’

Kalispel map to airport

 

(photo: It would have been a dangerous three-hour drive in the dark, departing at 3:30am… but instead it was this)

The organization with which the past three days have come together has astonished the very person who did all the work.

And the soft echo of ‘give yourself a pat on the back’ seem so totally appropriate right now.

At 9:46pm, MST, in the Kalispel hotel, on a Friday night.

Wheels up tomorrow at 7:25am.

We’re going to Disney World….

One is in control, the other is at the mercy of waiting

If there is going to be electricity in the air today, it’s up to us. And not only that, we are in charge of controlling it. Of turning it up, and turning it down.

The other option is simply to check and measure for it.

Maybe we’ll feel some, maybe not.

One is in control, the other is at the mercy of waiting.

Being organized means figuring this out.

Six years of diligent personal organization can go by rather quickly.

Time waits for no one.

Pretty decent case for initiating our biggest dreams plans in life.

How long would you be willing to persevere in order to reach a dream?

Unlikely at 16 we had the vision for what we wanted to become at 21.

Not that crazy at 49 to envision what could happen at 55.

We have to start our own fire

quote
Could we astound ourselves to shed 90% of our stuff?

 

We have to start our own fire.

If lost in the wilderness in freezing temperatures, to avoid freezing to death overnight gather 10 times as much firewood as you think you’ll need.

Very time consuming.

Overkill?

No. Yet it is the right strategy you would need to survive the night without freezing to death.

This may seem unrelated to everyday civilized life.

Be 10 times more organized with our possessions than we think we need to be. Otherwise, we might kill our peace.
