Glacier National Park – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Giddy (and) UP

Woman on touring bicycle — Puget Sound. Honeymoon. We’ve been filling our “Adventure Book” even before we got married.

Hoping for the best is an awesome mindset.

Giddy about returning to Glacier in as little as a week.

UP is our favorite Pixar movie.

Adventure is out there.

We know it.

We love doing it.

Grateful for hoping for the best because it led me to hold off on canceling every reservation.

Thank goodness.

Hoping Friday’s eye exam is the green light to (a return to our Summer 2023) Adventure.

Our packed and organized rental van is waiting for our arrival.

Note: We’ve been paying for the van even though no one is driving it.

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.

Good news, other news

8-second video: Just an unrehearsed (aren’t 99% of them unrehearsed?) moment to catch a seemingly insignificant moment.

Disney World driving map — Went straight at the first light. Under the water-bridge and past Space Mountain and TRON. The route home from Celebration, FL.

Slow and steady means nothing if you cannot gratefully practice it.

What you know is worthless without application.

Everyone remembers where they were

21-second video: September 5th is a hot day. Why? Because the glorious breeze the past two days is gone.

Never forget.
American post 9/11 mantra.

Less than a week from the 22nd year since 9/11.

Cheryl has always hung decorative flags outside our garage.

In the early years at our home, the landscaping was a baby.

The flags were easily visible from the road and as you drove up our driveway. About 15 years ago the shrubs became small trees and rendered the flag invisible to the neighbors.

In the Fall Cheryl hung a pumpkin flag. Thanksgiving , a turkey. Christmas, Santa or a snowman. Valentine’s Day, hearts. Easter, a Bunny. Memorial Day and July 4th, an American Flag.

She never made it back to the pumpkin flag.

We’ve always hung (only) an American Flag, since May 2001.

Remember that whole never-forget “promise”?

Home couch potato

three hikers in front of trailhead sign — Ten hours on the trail. Saw two people at the start and that was it. There wasn’t a single flat piece of trail. Kind of a dreamy day. And to finish it, we soaked our feet in Lunch Creek and two of us had a couple beers. Exquisite. The only thing missing is my all-time favorite person.

Simba, remember who you are.

Writing always makes me feel better.

Just for me: Dude, you’ve been writing (feeling better) for 5,000+ consecutive days. Seriously, never missing a single day. Makes the “every damn day” slogan real. Don’t it?!
