Change wake up

iPhone alarm clock
Easy change. Start sleep later means wake up later. Easy-peasy, generally.

Since 1999 when i joined Disney institute, 5:00 AM has been a standard wakeup time.

Also since 1999, no matter the bedtime, the 5AM wakeup time didn’t change.

Those 5AM wakeup days have been over for a couple years.

Perhaps it was a Christmas present i got for myself (and my family).

Time, body

three men in the mountains
Summer 2025. Two Medicine.

Looking at the above photo, all i can say is, “This was a great day.’

The time we spent together hiking 8-miles roundtrip with a 2,200 foot elevation gain…

How is this a waste of time?

Physical mantra

Physical mantra…

Health is wealth.

Honor the temple housing everything keeping you alive.

Be an example, not a warning.

Physical presence

mountain ridge at sunset
Zooming in a bit. The mental presence to turn away from the sunset to see what was happening behind me during the sunset’s main event.

Physical presence…

An erect posture, strong core, energetic glow.

Stamina, strength, limber.

Excellence, not perfection: nutrition and rest.

Godlike motive…

To be an example, not a warning.

Short jaunt to the hospital

Let’s just call it nine miles.

December 15, 2025.

RIP Walt Disney (Dec 15, 1966: 65 years old).

i’m older than Walt was when he died.

Walked four miles roundtrip to my annual eye exam this morning.

Then walked five more, also roundtrip to the eye doctor’s office to drop off a pair of frames (for new lenses).

Not only is the mileage remarkable, so is the discretionary time to do it.
