On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Disney retirement update

Florida homeowner swimming pool
Sometimes i work while floating on a raft.

 

Two days away from the end of my first year of Disney retirement.

Just yesterday i told a former Disney Institute colleague (he asked how i was enjoying retirement), “i’m working harder than ever, just not as much”.

Today is not a good day to put your dreams on hold.

Or is it?

Reuniting with people from your past can sometimes warm your soul with a sweet tasting, unexpected solace because all your hard work, determination, organization, hardships, doubts, fears, and hopes have paid off.

How do you come to this realization?

When the people who thought you were a fool, now seek your advice.

Living your dream takes many things.

Being decently organized is one of them.

i think about mornings like this one and realize this is how the early pioneers must have felt when after they did the arduous work of striking out on their own, clearing their land, surviving the unforgiving environment, planting their crop, figuring out how to live until harvest, and then the harvest.

The glorious, life-sustaining harvest.

And then their spirit soared.
