Apple Watch screen shot. Date in upper right corner (May 30) was yesterday.

 

Still getting used to the Apple watch i received four days ago. Driving home from the track meet, Cheryl called and i answered from the Apple Watch.

It was a moment.

A random, seemingly insignificant moment.

Like the baby steps i began taking in 1999 after a health scare from a cholesterol report. The motivation to get healthy or risk heart (attack) complications.

Great rallying cry.

 

Saw spectacular opening and closing sessions, and four really good speakers. It feels good to be back in the saddle again.

It’s our job as the chief executive

Split level house steps

Our mind, body and spirit are our responsibility.

As challenging as it is to manage this for a lifetime, we really can not expect things to get better or easier by using procrastination or quitting.

Seriously. Can we?

Life’s a bitch full of challenges.

This also is not a secret.

And it’s our job to be the exception.

Computers are going to rule the world and code is the only thing that will allow this to happen. Time to learn a new language?

Change has many enemies. No one can explain why except like this, “People hate change”.

Okay. Got it. People hate change. But we all love progress when it benefits us.

Here’s why we are such knuckleheads. Progress only comes from change.

If our head wasn’t attached…

Disney Cast Member Good Samaritan

 

Began the run with wool hat and gloves. Over the course of three hours, it turned into a Chamber of Commerce kind of day. Perfect for yesterday, December 10, 2014.

Eight mile jog plus three mile walk.

A day like yesterday is the result of six years of planning as a small business owner and 30 years as a Walt Disney World Cast Member.

And it all began when a young couple living on the Washington-Idaho boarder decided to risk everything and move to Orlando with no jobs.

They both began making entry-level wages, got lucky in a low-income mortgage finance lottery, bought a starter home 30 miles from Disney, and managed with one car and one bicycle.
