Big Horn Sheep Ram head carving — Tree of Life. Several hours ago. At home now finishing today’s blogs.

i cannot imagine missing a single day blogging.

Writing and publishing five daily, differently-themed blog posts since 2009 has made me wise, peaceful, optimistic, and grounded in my prioritized priorities.

i was all those things before 2009.

However, prolific writing for 5,500+ consecutive days transformed me.

Transformation is subjective, but universally, it means radical change.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

21-second video: Perspective on where we’ve come from. And before this house, we were on a $7,500 lot and a $39,000 starter house. True story. Felt like we hit the lottery. Both making minimum Disney wage. One car and one bicycle. Thirty-miles one way to work.

Autopilot can be transformational and glorious.

We judge ourselves on our intentions. Others judge us on our behaviors.
dad (Disney Institute)

A client sent the video. Didn’t mention that yesterday. This video reminded them of me.

Today, reflecting, it stimulates thinking about the message from an organizational vibrancy angle instead of the obvious personal vibrancy.

Think about that for a moment.

Imagine intentional things an organization could (and should) do, but doesn’t. Much like the lone human being depicted in two scenarios: intentional and unintentional.

People, and entire organizations, reap what they sow.

The damning habit they both have is thinking today won’t make a remarkable difference to their futures.

Or conversely, the remarkable habit that every company has available: over-focusing on the same things other companies under-focus on or ignore.

Reaping what you sow seems irrefutable. There are rare exceptions. Plan on not being one.

Writing this fifth and final blog for today, October 5, 2023.

Tomorrow our Son starts his day at Celebration Health Hospital’s infusion center.

Mine starts at Central Florida Retina Specialists.

The next day we dine at our family-favorite Disney restaurant. And we are joined by our Son’s three best friends in the world.

Happy present moment.

Be an example not a warning.

How long have i been saying that?

Luxury resort staircase — Just like home.

Luxury resort — This side does not get nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks. Probably never an issue. (Of course it is…how could it not).

Every day is Super Bowl Sunday at Disney. Transfer that to your priorities and see what happens.

How much more valuable are priorities when they are prioritized?
