The forecasted rain happened before we hit the trail. Our return hike presented un-forecasted rain for the final three miles.

Be prepared.

In my personal life, learning is my favorite thing.

In my personal life, teaching is my second favorite thing.

Insight: To teach is to learn twice.

No one is here to offer to take our photo. How cool is that!

Time together is my favorite thing.

Time alone is my second.

Day 7 St Mary, Triple Divide, home

florida trailer park aerial view
Disney acquired the ability to convert a commercial Kissimmee campground into a makeshift college “dormitory”. There were 50 units. Small trailers each equipped with four bedrooms, two baths and one small, central kitchen. i arrived January 24, 1982. The next day at Disney University, my Walt Disney World career began.

The only limitations i have are those i impose upon myself.

This personal mantra was envisioned in 1980 during my North Carolina Outward bound experience while on a college Spring Break.

That’s when i unknowing discovered what we today call growth mindset.

Was ahead of my time without ever knowing.

Note: Being present allows (internalized, and forgotten) influential memories to randomly catch my attention.

.blogging .differently is just getting started, and it’s been a fun start.

As Walt always reminds us, “Keep moving forward.”

Someday feels creepy to me now.

No trust in someday.

Yes, and…

Wisdom teaches me that someday starts thinking about arriving after you start doing the daily, constant, relentless reps to learn, grow, improve, and teach. And not only starting, but mastering the daily, relentless part.

Someday, so glad you’ve shown up after seeing i’ve been serious all along.
