A good day for a Friday, home

Cheryl put together some fun and unique Cast recognition awards for an upcoming trip. Disneyland Paris Cast Members love receiving Walt Disney World stuff. Soon, we’ll stay there five nights. Cheryl did something similar when she was there six months ago. It was a smash hit.

We are a couple weeks away from our first international ‘vacation’ as a couple.

Note: We did bicycle on Vancouver Island for a two days and one night for our honeymoon. Not counting that in this context.

Blessed beyond measure to have time and resources to go.

Blessed beyond measure to have Cheryl construct an incredible two-week adventure. Her itinerary includes a seven-night, eight-day French River Cruise. And of course the rest at Disneyland Paris.

A good Friday indeed.

A good day, no matter the day of the week.

Give me some good news, home

Mountain Goat in Glacier near Hidden Lake. No idea what Mountain Goats believe in except maybe a survival of the fittest type thing.

Good news, here’s that song, “Let Me Believe“.

Note: While the song is melancholy to my ear, the song’s title is perfect for today and tomorrow (and every day). Let me believe what i want to believe: HE is Risen.

Ownership determines motivation, home

Envisioned parenthood. But it took eight years and our life savings, with no guarantee. Noteworthy: we had been married nearly a decade before we stared trying, then another eight years of trying.

Confusion is the gateway to learning.

Learning is the gateway to motivation.

Motivation is the gateway to making your greatest vision a reality.

To each their own, home

To each their own.

Live and let live.

Live and learn.

Dear Son, our life equals our habits. Our habits equal our results. Therefore, our life equals our results.

Insight: The way we live our life is what determines our life’s results.

Live and let live.

Kinda like doing unto others as you would want them to do unto you.

People will think differently than you.

People will prioritize better than you.

People will prioritize worse than you.

People will like how you prioritize.

People will dislike how you prioritize.

Through it all, remember this mantra…

Live and let live.

Insight: This is what you want others to do for you as well.
