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.

Fire and Ash, home

We both enjoyed this Avatar franchise movie.

Not gonna lie, had no idea it was decently-over three hours long.

Note: Didn’t do any advance research. Went in thinking it would be a typical movie, 90-120 minutes. So, 180-200 minutes (197 minutes) (specifically three-hours, 17-minutes long) was unexpected. Totally recommend it.

Merry Christmas 2026, home

Christmas Disney trivia game — Some type of gift-opening game is created and hosted by Cheryl.

Family of four at Christmas tree — Christmas afternoon, 2025.

Two adults by Christmas tree — Christmas Joy.

Card with rainbow and daisies design — Daisies have always been our favorite, especially roadside daisies.

anniversary card — The bottom right corner is my ‘signature’ bicycle image.

Our son’s Christmas Eve and Christmas Day shifts started at 5:00 AM. Waiting for him to return home before our ‘festivities’ allowed Santa’s helpers extra prep time.

That was a blessing.

Today was the most prepared i’ve ever been for Christmas.

Today was the most joy i’ve ever experienced for Christmas.

Home presence

12-second video: It’s hard to look away from something so mesmerizingly beautiful. But if you do, you won’t miss the encore behind you…

mountain sunset — Simply turn around 180-degrees. An easy half-spin. How amazing is this? Here’s a video of the same moments…

10-second video: Learned this presence on Sanibel Island decades ago. And over those decades, have learned to apply it to everything.

Home presence…

Presence of my priorities…

And eventually, the presence to prioritize them…

Wasn’t easy, but the presence to stay with it led to peace and contentment…personal vibrancy.

Short jaunt from downstairs

two story home foyer steps — Carrying a DIY bookshelf upstairs.

Enjoying the gentle, small glimpses of rediscovering a more carefree jeff.

How?

Shedding stuff (for years and years).

Shedding work/career responsibilities (one final “consulting” client – my favorite and longest). This one is a significant catalyst. A recent decision to commit to officially stop.

Note: Still gladly doing Disney Customer Service Keynotes. Never feels like work. Dedicated my life to synthesizing Disney’s world class customer service reputation into something that anyone can do.
