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.

Habits define us

West Orange High School Administration office
An afterthought two days ago to capture real life in real time.

 

Habits define us.

The first two days of High School have netted the 11-year tradition of a father-son hug in the school parking lot.

Was not sure about High School.

Glad it is continuing.

Potentially to continue as a 14-year habit tradition in his Senior year.

Habits.

Double-edged sword as it were.

Short and pithy is his calling card

Photo: A metaphor for how life’s focus isn’t always in focus.

Today’s five posts were true to Mid Life Celebration’s blogging vision, which is short and pithy.

A favorite illustration about how challenging it is to say a lot with very little: “I wanted to write you a shorter letter but didn’t have time.”

Thought giving up coffee and diet coke would be impossible

Thought giving up coffee and diet coke would be impossible. Seriously.

The catalyst was a holiday trip to visit Family. In a strange development, noticed widespread dark stains on my teeth. From coffee?

Quit drinking coffee and diet coke when we returned to Orlando. That was on January 5, 90 days ago.

The sign above:

No coffee, No workee.

We believe what we want to believe.

  • “I can’t live without coffee”.
  • “I can live without coffee”.

We live a lifetime selling ourselves short. Our ability to transform is possible.

It’s the focus and discipline that seems impossible.
