Just a friendly reminder that i experience the full range of emotions that everyone else feels. My writing can easily be interpreted as being without the pain and frustration brought on by living in a challenging world.

The key is organizing our auto-response to daily challenges, pressures, and disappointments.

There is only one response to the inevitable, this.

No one cares about my daily minutia

Apple Special Event September 2015
As i write this post, the iPhone 6s is being revealed.

 

As the clock ticks 2:33pm EST, no one cares about me sharing this minutia. But what’s interesting, to me, is how the sharing of these daily challenges and nuances actually illustrates the secret of life.

The secret of life is finding consistent balance, and using creativity, drive, and determination to consistently live in the space labeled thriving.

He turned 15 yesterday. A surprise Disney Cruise was planned with his mother since his dad was going to be in France.

Being organized helps us manage the (consistent) things that we cannot plan for.

The mundane, boring rhythm of life’s upkeep

Palm tree trimming

Some chores require daily attention and we are the only ones who can do them.

Other chores happen weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually.

Some require experts to complete.

Annual tree trimming seems insignificant until you remember that next month is the peak month for Hurricane season (June 1 – Nov 30).

There are some chores we do once in a lifetime, maybe. One of those was yesterday. A phone call (from Epcot) with the guy that produces Lee Cockerell’s podcasts.

Will it lead to me doing podcasts? It’s a pricy proposition. How do you organize yourself to calculate the risk versus reward?

Oh, and one more chore. Bought a new Macbook two days ago. It’s still in the box.
