i was born and raised one mile outside a small town.

Orlando is our mailing address, but we are less than one mile from Walt Disney World.

We live just a little closer than i lived from Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.

Think about what that can mean to identifying your home town roots.

And so it goes, physically

10-second video: Heading to where it all began 50 years ago.

Life is a constant dance with opposites.

It has been over 24 hours since yesterday’s one-week post op exam.

Spent the entire time (99%) inside.

No moving tree-watering hoses. No weed pulling. No nuthin’.

Doctor’s orders.

Note: It’s an uncomfortable way to spend 24 hours.

As they say about sacrifice, “i’m taking one for the team”.

Decently rare

10-second video: One million acres. Over 700 miles of trail. Plenty of animals. Sighting the big ones is decently rare.

Back in the day the wild was humanity’s gym.

For eons, no need for a gym.

The “gym” and “exercise” was how you stayed alive.

Fast forward to modern time, we call exercise what we used to know simply as staying alive.

Consider this: To this day, being active is an excellent way to stay alive.

Note to self, strive to create a lifestyle that is active enough it becomes your gym. For example, this Summer’s visit to Glacier and the high-altitude hiking and climbing required to get from point A to point B is the “gym”.

Final note: Wherever you are in life, creatively, and joyfully, make the most of your time.

It happens all day long

13-second video: No all that flies is in the sky. Also from our yard.

Nature is the busiest business in the Universe. If you watch often, and closely, you’ll see.

Healthy habits

25-second video: The commitment (promise) to get monthly allergy shots never ends. Since 2003, that’s 240 office visits (20 years worth). Next month it will increase to 241.

Photo from yesterday, an encore: Keep your promises.

Honor the promises you make to yourself.

Get healthy. Stay healthy. Have fun.
