The text above arrived this morning.

The day after as they say.

The message begins…

Are you delighted with your new vision?

i’m so happy i could cry.

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.

No one likes it

Tv Weather forecast — It’s that time of year in Orlando when we turn on the AC and never turn it off until October. It’s mid-April today, Sunday. Yes, it’s 84 right now.

Pool app — Guessing the air temp is close (because the pool pump house and the pool pump motor may inflate the ‘outdoor temp’). Assuming the water temp is accurate.

No one likes a know-it-all, unless it’s their surgeon or professor.

Sometimes i wish i had the capacity to slay my insatiable desire to learn and apply wisdom, and then publish it.

It’s a blessing and curse (but not really a curse).

Note: And when i say ‘sometimes‘ i really mean always.

While on a work trip, Cheryl hosted a friend at our home. We met her at our son’s college.

Paige is an excellent cook and an extraordinary human.

i got to spend 36 hours under the same roof with Paige.

Could have easily enjoyed her company for more days. Perhaps, however, it’s meant to be because her husband should be here too.

Fingers crossed for next time.

Explain succinctly

Photo of a painting with two nurses sitting bedside — Looks to me like a Nurse and a nursing student are gazing on a painting of Florence Nightengale.

3-second video: Almost home. Little did anyone know that after landing, we’d wait an additional 40 minutes for an open gate to park the plane.

i was a high achiever long before Disney. It’s a blessing and a curse.

What’s frustrated you most about onboarding?
What coaching can you share for how others can best earn your respect and trust.
What makes work fun for you?
What makes working with you fun?
What is important for me to know about you that i haven’t asked?
Bonus: What do you believe is the meaning of life?
Bonus: What’s your superpower?
Bonus: What’s your achilles heel?
Bonus: What’s your favorite place on Earth?

Note: This post’s title (Explain succinctly) is inspired by today’s one-week post cataract surgery followup exam. Grateful Dr Callaway is blessing me with a return to ‘50% of previous efforts’ for pre-cataract surgery physical routines. But it took a few minutes to get to the ‘Bottomline’ restriction.

In hindsight, a one sentence hypothesis (with any medical provider) would be a potential breakthrough to get to the answer efficiently.

Maybe tomorrow’s posts can unpack that and even craft the hypothesis.

Wild Goose Island never looked better

Woman by mountain lake — Heading home now. And soon enough, heading back to GNP. Same backpack too.

Do work that lights your fire. For as long as it still stirs your soul.

Doing the impossible still lights my fire.
