The work is never done

One of the biggest tasks before retirement was organizing all the personal files from 30 years of service.

Many of those files now digital.

To help process the reality of this life altering choice, every calendar entry and every contact was deleted.

It’s the same process we go through when we buy a new cell phone – erase all the data off the old device.

But in this case, there’s no iCloud backup.

Thank goodness this day had been six years in the making.

Today is day 33 of retirement. Busy as ever. Who would have thought time would still feel limited?

Life is a double-edged sword

Parenting challenges and technology

Praying that all teens will find the right balance between sexual desire and understanding that there are consequences to letting unbridled passion run wild.

Praying parents and caregivers use patience, wisdom, kindness, and courage to help work through this season in life.

The way it used to be is over

They were discussing this phrase – Disney Keynote Speaker.

Could be interpreted as an official job title.

Could be interpreted as a product description.

Both are 100% accurate. Neither one can be disputed.

Generally, half the United States of America thinks the President is doing a good job.

Half think not.

President of the United States. One person. Up for two entirely different, individual, interpretations.

The Industrial age is over.

Control and authority are being redistributed as these words are typed.

Note: Above was written 100 days ago, about a month after retirement. Writing this as an addendum today, March 6. The reason Disney Keynote Speaker is significant is because it was never the intention. The key learning is there are things we never see coming. Are we willing to take a detour?

One of the most liberating feelings in the world

Being decisive is one of the most liberating feelings in the world.

We aren’t always right with our decisions, but at least we know because we decided.

The pain and burden of not knowing is the killer.
