Aging is cool, home

The real adventure is creating personal vibrancy. Which implies aging gracefully, healthfully, spiritually, mentally, and letting go of “work”.

Aging.

Advantage or disadvantage?

As i blog, my energy and inspiration ebbs and flows.

My desire to leave a trail for our son never wavers.

Why?

Commitment.

To what?

To leaving a trail.

And now that i no longer “work for a living”, have new goals that i never had before.

i absolutely need to capture in writing this new life-stage.

Why?

If i don’t he’ll never have a first-hand (ring-side seat) take on what aging can be – if you dream of personal vibrancy.

Ps. Been dreaming about personal vibrancy since – i don’t know – maybe 1999?

Art is the work you do in a way that no one else does.

Acts of deceleration.

If you can slow your life down to a pace that facilitates rethinking, reprioritizing, and recommitting, your life has no choice but to accelerate towards transformation.

Love the stop sign juxtaposition. Only one place you can get this angle.

 

eating outside the grocery store
Last night’s dinner was eaten next to the Publix grocery store entrance. i sat on the ground. Pretty cool. Like being in college.

 

The simple things are the ones we should bank on.

With my family out-of-town i made the most of the evening with a bike ride.

The beauty and grind of an ordinary day

Disney Cast celebration
Disney Cast celebration from a friend’s Facebook update yesterday.

 

Granite Park Chalet phone number
Quick call with a couple questions about Glacier National Park’s high-mountain chalet.

 

Gas tank gauge
i cannot recall the last time this happened. Maybe a decade ago? From the Tampa trip.

 

The beauty and grind of an ordinary day is a gift.

Today is all we have.

Unwrap, appreciate, and enjoy it.

Hear the news from Cheryl that Dad’s Nursing Home is recommending Hospice for Dad.

Go to bed remembering what i wrote in Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit

The three most magnificent days in our life are the day we are born, the day we figure out why, and the day we die.

Praying Dad sees it the same way.

Dad is 91.

He’s ready.

And i believe he’s been praying for his third most magnificent day.
