Are you present enough?

elementary school class photo — Montessori class. Eight years at this school. Was supposed to be one, Pre-K.

Happy present moment.

.hpm is a perfect salutation no matter the year, month, week, day, hour, or minute.

How cool is that?

Chores and such

sprinkler hose — Dry winter. Getting a jump on priming some of the tropical plants for Spring. It’s February now.

5-second video: The group of seven wanted to do Small World. Who am i to say no?

Been focused on doing important personal and business paperwork.

Sprinkling in some yard work. Fresh air and movement is the same as recess as a kid.

Since adults are simply older kids, i never want to miss recess.

Note: The recesses are getting extended and more frequent. Why? The warm weather has us yearning to be outside in the dirt.

Impossible’s contribution

If you’re not willing to attempt impossible things, you’ll never improve your work. You’ll never improve your personal life either.

Fear of success?

If we lived life unafraid of death, what would change?

We don’t fear death as much as we fear something else.

We fear having to change into who we know we really want to be.

Home patience

Home patience.

This is the patience required to thrive with peace and contentment.

This is the patience required to manage a new life-phase — retirement. And i mean full-retirement, not semi-retirement like the past decade after Disney.

This is the patience required to create new habits after a lifetime of steady, decent income.

This is the patience required to watch others reaping what they sowed, including me and my family.

This is the patience required to acknowledge that if today was my last day, am i ready in every way.

This is the patience required to manage new territory and what seems like rarely-improving human customer service. The tech side, to me, is ever increasing in its ability to make life easier, more convenient, and better.
