Moments of present happiness

11-second video: This video is referencing a 7:15 AM text exchange with a Disney and Glacier colleague.
Pre-sunrise text exchange. Illustrates in real time the unplanned route.
6-second video: Watch displays 13.5 miles to get back to our pool patio. Patio furniture removed from pool deck for Hurricane Nicole. Note: this walk outside lasted over five hours. Who’s got that kind of time? The crazy ones.

Money is the most important decision-making driver, until time replaces money.

Comments are a backdoor

30-second video: Between all five blogs, deleted 10,805 comments. Nearly half (5,050) are my replies.

Over-focusing means paying attention to every detail. Details others under-focus on or ignore.

Note: From 2008-2016 you could leave a comment. You could also socially share posts. Disabled both features. Also deleted all plugins. Added a 50+ character password. Why do these things? Minimize backdoor brute force cyber-attack attempts success. How’s this for letting go of the past…

35-second video: Scary, yet freeing. Deleted 10,800 comments today.
22-second video: Another 2,300+ comments permanently deleted.
90-second video: Snippet of the comment-deletion process.
20-second video: The final 2,500 comments deleted…10,800 total. Yee-haa! No worries though, there are 26,000 blog posts to peruse.

There’s an amazing sense of freedom from doing what you didn’t think you could do. It’s easy to feel emotionally attached to 10,000 comments…a window to the past.

Home humility

24-second video: As of 3pm, no sign of a hurricane. Midnight is the estimate for the start of hellacious winds.

Personal vibrancy will unintentionally alienate you from almost everyone. Resist temptation to lower your standards. Dwell in humility.

6-second video: This is the way.
Disney theme
Nature is called “the wild” for a reason.

There is no shortcut to publishing 26,000 blog posts.

The pause that refreshes your home

Oceanfront restaurant
Jacquelyn drove us to lunch at Crabby’s. We rode down the beach, in a golf cart.
18-second video: After today’s lunch golf cart ride, we stop to test the water temperature.

May your home be your favorite place on the whole planet.

Note: There is no logical timetable for achieving this. Never had this as a goal. No one told me it is critical to vibrancy. Woke up one day realizing i had reached a goal i had never considered. Ps. No one told me about vibrancy either.
