Baltimore harbor — Francis Scott Key Bridge on the horizon.

Shipyard — Damaged ship didn’t have far to go to be docked. The darker center image is the ship.

9-second video: Zoomed in a bit more.

26-second video: Panning from left to right. Everything is close.

Know you prioritized priorities
dad

Here’s something to celebrate as an adult:

You do not have to justify your life to anyone.

There may or may not be consequences in not justifying your life.

Positive consequences.

Negative consequences.

And you do not have to worry about either one.

No celebrating necessary.

No pity party either.

Be comfortable in your own skin, your own thoughts, your own beliefs, your own priorities.

Ignorance is regret’s twin

outdoor event tent — Will never regret seeing this tent in the way it unfolded. Never.

church pews — i was the only one in the Chapel. Went upstairs. Reminded me of the Church loft in the Church where i was ‘confirmed’. While leaving after some reflective moments ‘upstairs’, the shadows spoke to me.

The answer to every ignored priority is regret.
dad

Regret sucks.

Hard stop.

Happy present moment.

One life at a time

You are the CCO, of You, Inc. The Chief Change Officer.

Sacrifice is the glitch, the bug in the system of change.

Fix the bug and you fix the operating system.

Your life and your rationale for your habits is your current operating system.

A system-bug is when the pleasure, ease, esteem, or whatever is greater than the desire to change.

And in today’s thread, we are assuming change means an improved and enhanced life.

Today’s posts were fun to contemplate and write.

Happy present moment.

Priority Eve

Calendar — After weeks/months of literally zero cancellations, today the sky opened up. i put in for a three-day reservation yesterday. Didn’t get it. This Chalet is deep in the wilderness yet affords luxuries like a roof over your head, clean drinking water from an outdoor hose spigot, a pit toilet with a door versus a hole in the ground, and kitchen-cooked meals.

If you think health is important your first three or four decades, wait until the second three or four decades.
dad

Aging is a wilderness that gets wilder as you age.

Why?

Because the body physically deteriorates as the Universe’s inexplicable model dictates.

Control your clarity

Road signs — Navigating the CANADIM.com website to ensure i have 100% compliance and zero-percent challenges at Customs feels like this photo, confusing and uncertain.

Daily walking is a priority to me because my body is a priority to me.
dad

The beauty with interconnectedness is that doing something good in one area does something good in another area. And conversely, not doing something good in one area does not help another area.

The math equation is simple.

But if you’re like me, the math is hard because you know there are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can’t.
