Without the feeling of imminent, it’s easier to hide

In the name of love, i think the way i do.

 

Without the feeling of imminent, it’s easier to hide.

Look around at your home – is it simple, meaningful, intentional?

Would someone be able to easily come in behind you and settle your affairs if you were no longer around?

The funeral was paid for in 1996

funeral schedule
In two days.

 

 

The funeral was paid for in 1996.

Cheryl had (still has) a lot to coordinate, but not having to shop, arrange, and pay for a funeral is a tremendous help.

Is your funeral paid for, arranged with your wishes, and paperwork provided to the likely person(s) who will be responsible for seeing it through?

Life is not a dress rehearsal

What?

 

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live like you mean it.

Death will be here before you are ready.

So, in my humble opinion, the time to get ready is when you don’t need to.

Say, now.

What if you only had one more Summer?

Windermere Prep swimming pool
This is more beautiful than i imagined.

 

Windermere Prep swimming pool
Final regular season swim meet is tomorrow and i will miss because of business travel. This is worse than i imagined.

 

It felt good, yet incredibly weird, to so casually tell Howard that next Summer is the last Summer i’m planning to have.

Leadership’s key attribute is the existence of a clear, concise, and compelling vision.

PS. It would be lovely to live vibrantly past 60. Not planning on it. Sure, i’m hopeful, but i refuse to let the notion of more time postpone living like i’m on borrowed time.

Every day is a gift.

i’m fascinated by the home results of setting a 10-year deadline

i’m fascinated by the home results of setting a 10-year deadline.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Shed.

Go paperless.

Think, “If i moved into a one-bedroom assisted living apartment, what would i be able to comfortably take with me?”

Still have 21 months to par down.

Getting there.

PS. Did i mention how ecstatic i am that i made this decision because i have a “serious” deadline?

In a perfect world, i’ll live well beyond 60.

Not planning on it though.

Crazy thing is, i haven’t even begun to think about what i’ll do if i make it past 60.

You may call me a dreamer (or crazy, or stupid, or…) but i challenge anyone to dream small and see if you are happy in the end.
