We’ve been together a decade. We met at Lee Cockerell’s home two weeks before i officially retired on Halloween 2014. Mark and i began collaborating in early 2015.

There’s a last time for everything.

Sometimes we welcome the last time.

Sometimes we mourn the last time.

And sometimes, we forget to savor each time, never thinking that this might be the last time.

Next to last business trip for Mickey

Cockpit for Delta flight

 

(photo: Cockpit of midwest regional jet yesterday.)

Are life’s problems opportunities in disguise?

So what if the flight was delayed two hours. It’s such a privilege to get to travel to help transform others.

Totally aware last night’s trip was the next to last one.

What does this mean to anyone?

Are you satisfied?

Being decently organized has allowed for the glorious savoring of these final days.

Birds of a feather, flock together. Same with Baby Boomers.

Florida Sandhill Cranes are a threatened species, but plentiful in the neighbor's yard.

Wild animals don’t need much internal motivation to thrive. Each day’s meal, and the watchful eye for predators, leads to another day of the same. The payoff? Mating season and the chance to reproduce – the common purpose of every living thing.

But humans are a different animal. We think tomorrow is guaranteed. We get satisfied, then complacent, and finally decline. The shift from one to the other is slow, yet fast, quiet yet obnoxious. Uncertain yet guaranteed.

Bring On 2010

Finally.

Some will say, “Finally, 2009 is over.”

Some will say, “Finally, 2010 is here.”

Some may say both.

Where would you put yourself?

It seems, time and time again, it all comes down to attitude.
