Organize now for the end

Dana (left) and Christopher Reeve. Young Will just getting started. i met and hosted them four years later (and two years after Christopher’s accident) at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.

Hospice nurses often list five emotional tasks for the end of life:

  1. thank you
  2. I love you
  3. please forgive me
  4. I forgive you
  5. goodbye.

Why wait until it’s literally a breath away from too late?

Yesterday Chapin and i spent an hour at the bank proactively arranging financial accounts more effectively. Cheryl was at Walt Disney World helping Mickey and the gang.

John F. Kennedy is credited with saying…

The time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining.

None of today’s posts are about being perfect, but every one of them is about being excellent.

Time flies in five year increments

This is priceless. Most organizations can not articulate a purpose statement. Five years from now this will be forgotten or it will be the DNA everyone talks about.

Time flies in five year increments.

One year goes by and we barely notice.

Five years go by and we are like, “Wow, i’ve learned so much in the past five years.”

In three days, it’s Halloween 2019 which means i’ve been retired from Disney for five years.

Turning 60

In the Madrid airport yesterday…such is life.

Turning 60.

This Summer – the Summer of 2019 – feels like a bonus.

A self-imposed bonus.

In a 2008-premonition, i gave myself 10 years to do everything in life i could do to eliminate regret if, indeed, i didn’t live past my 60th birthday (today).

By the time this goes live on August 8, 2019, our son will be a few days away from going off to college.

And Cheryl will have been exercising regularly for a full year.

Both of these accomplishments have been life-bucket-list items.

Enjoyed the moment rather than capture it

For a guy who takes a lot of photos, i didn’t take many yesterday. This one was an afterthought.

Enjoyed the moment rather than capture it.

Rare.

Would i do it the same way again?

Probably not.

Do i regret not taking more photos?

Nope.

Son, it’s ok to be okay with not doing what you always do.

Remember, however, that great habits are scalable and produce superior long-term results. Aim for perfection, settle for excellence.

The absence of a group photo, when we had everyone here, would have been great but not having it doesn’t dimmish the memory of a wonderful day.

Balance regrets and accomplishments

hand held phone
Can’t remember the last time i held a phone to talk. Last night it happened because my Air Pods died and the backup pair (yes, i have two pairs) took too long to synch.

 

When it comes time to die…

Balance your regrets and your accomplishments.

Got this nugget from a new parent at Windermere Prep.

His and his wife’s grandparents are in their 90’s, and one is a centenarian.

Would it be weird to start a conversation on Facebook exchanging tips on preparing to die?

Honestly, it seems like a brilliant idea.
