Nursing Home stuff, home

Woman posing in front of Disneyland, Paris — Also yesterday. Also Paris.

Obviously know one knows what the future will bring, or when.

But what we all know is, we’re gonna die.

We’ve seen it happen our entire life.

It ain’t a secret.

We plan a baby shower, a wedding reception, a high school graduation, a vacation.

Few plan a death.

Journaling is house medicine

Journaling is house medicine. You are the…

CPO: Chief Priority Officer.

Having priorities is great.

But.

But without a priority order, you are unintentionally (and insidiously) derailing a potentially transformational personal structure.

i’ve asked (and continue to ask) myself enough questions, through writing, and the writing process, to be gifted with many epiphanies and BFO’s (blinding flashes of the obvious). Thank goodness. Thank God.

Writing enlightened me to the common-sense principle that prioritized priorities trump un-prioritized priorities. Hard stop.

Anything that makes you healthier and more vibrant is great medicine.

Daily ~~writing~~ journaling is a miracle drug.

Yesterday, home

Two guys at the beach — We met sophomore year (freshman year for Rick). In Sanderson Hall, second floor. Our rooms next to each other. Photo: Yesterday having lunch at New Smyrna Beach. Not far from Rick’s home.

Inspirational sign in hospital lobby — We’ve known each other since 1978.

29-second video: Life is good.

Yesterday was a great day for a great day. No exercise, which felt like a loss. However, instead of cold and wind-chill, it could have been rain. And if it would’ve been rain all day, i wouldn’t have walked 5-7 miles on the beach with Rick.

So, was able to put it all in perspective and feel great about the unintentional rest day. Those days happen and i’m getting better at accepting them as an unexpected gift.
