Perfect conditions?

Mountain lake
Aim for perfection, settle for excellence. This is massively excellent. Patting myself on the back.

Life is too important to set any bar low.

dad

Having high expectations for everything is not for everybody. i get that. i used to be that person who thought high achievers were obnoxious.

Now i think high achievers are worth studying.

So then i asked myself…

If you could exponentially gain better results from simply over-focusing on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore, why on earth wouldn’t you?

i could not find an answer to not do it.

Clean it yourself

Apple Watch fitness screen
Still have to walk back to Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Apple Watch fitness screen
A good day considering the Eye doctor blessed me with no restrictions only two weeks ago.
6-second. Video: The questions behind the ‘silly’ question are many. And are a mystery to the listener.
13-second video: My window on Main Street. For every Cast Member who ever was, is now, or ever will be.
11-second video: ‘i was there’! Today. Twice.

Clean your own yard before you ask your Homeowner’s Association to make improvements.

dad

Humanity wants change.

Individually, few are willing to go first.

Crazy.

Everyone wants a friend, few are willing to go first.

Everyone wants their neighbor to change. Few are willing to set the example.

It’s lonely having Disney standards.

Why?

Many people love Disney, but most couldn’t handle the employee expectations.

Pre-home

Purchased this in Glacier two days ago.

Our go-to West Glacier Restaurant has a ‘Glacier Growler’ jug. We have dozens of mature Split-Leaf Philodendrons.

Tropics. Mountains. Palms. Grizzlies. One Earth.

dad

It’s so much fun to know palm trees and sunshine will follow me (us) all the days of our lives.

Reflecting on Glacier

Mountain lake
Special is as special does.
14-second video: Special video from a phone. A phone! How does a phone capture a video like this?!

Always take the good time with you.

dad

Perfect conditions are rare.

Excellent conditions are uncommon.

But most common of all are good conditions.

Depending on your experience, you may come to believe that good and very good aren’t good enough.

Disney taught me (and Cheryl) that.

Insight: Always make the most of every situation. So as you pack your stuff for the trip, the day, or the party, always pack ‘a good time’.
