If not, then what?

July 4th traditional Magic Kingdom fly-by. Thought it was at 10 AM sharp.

Come on her driveway from the roof — Before coming down from roof, took a photo to capture the driveway progress.

If not now, when?

If not ever, why?

Bonus note: If you cannot answer the first question, you won’t be able to answer the second. You are burying yourself. Use the frustrating ‘desperation’ as your catalyst to a midlife celebration.

Bonus note #2: Congrats to you for already knowing ‘true North’ and letting your conscious be your guide.

Hustle storm?

Mountains — Same lake, different angle as we make our way up the trail to the upper lake.

mountains and lake — Different lake, but same mountain location as in all of today’s photos.

Context is like oxygen to me.
dad

Nothing makes sense to me, or means anything to me without context.

This is reason social media is toxic to me.

LinkedIn and Twitter are two places i post regularly. However, the posts are business and life insights, not a pitch or a life movie A-Reel.

Wrote this comment (rarely comment, like almost never) yesterday. Why? Again, to capture a newly-found insight.

My comment…

Hustle-porn
Finally a term to define LinkedIn’s unintentional DNA

It’s Sunday morning.

Two weeks away from wheels up to Glacier.

High-achievers anonymous

Apple Watch fitness app screenshot — Early and easy 5 miles in the yard before 11am. This ain’t unusual. What the heck is unusual anyway? Perhaps it’s more like, “this ain’t uncommon” (for us). Today is a non-walk/activity day. A rest day if you will.

You may regret going after impossible goals. You may not. But i guarantee you will 100% regret wondering, “what if?”
dad

High-achievers anonymous sounds helpful.

But where do you sign up?

Who runs it?

Who ensures it’s integrity?

What is the ticket to entry?

How long do you stay?

Island time, everywhere

Path to the beach — It’s 730am and we’ve leisurely walked three miles. This pic is classic beach path karma.

Sea turtle tracks on the beach — The sea turtle path to an egg nest is classic beach path karma. Photo at sunrise.

Beach — Behind me is the sunset direction.

Island time is when you have nowhere you need to be, now or anytime in the next week or so.
dad

No plane on Sunday.

Tables and chairs

colorful tables and chairs — As we plant the last round of our property’s foundational trees, we are discovering opportunities to add sitting and social gathering areas. These Bubble Room outdoor tables and chairs are inspiring creative thinking.

There’s a phenomenon in retirement whereby having fun is a welcomed renaissance.
dad

If you work a lifetime helping others in your job, should there be a guilt-free transition into not having that responsibility anymore?

Being early on in this new part of the journey, gut tells me yes.

Friendly reminder to self (and everyone), your clock is ticking.

Die with zero regrets.

Have more fun than you’ve had in a long time. And sustain it, presumably, until you die.
