It pays to be sneaky sometimes

Was impressed with the technology that provided a list of all alternative flight choices.

It pays to be sneaky sometimes.

Context: Our Delta flights to Glacier National Park got canceled 20 minutes before i ordered an Uber, delaying our departure by one day and providing an unexpected opportunity for me to squeeze in a gym workout.

Snuck in a normal two-hour workout yesterday (a Saturday) because i had been in Spain for five days, and, immediately did a “turnaround” to head to Montana.

Weather made an unchangeable change – we need to fly today, a day later than scheduled.

Awoke at 4am today, with no time to write before scheduling a Lyft. So i write this from 37k’ on the way to Minneapolis.

Son, life is as we make it. It will always be challenging. Learn to control the controllables (like our attitude and our personal processes) and surrender to what we can’t control (like the weather and a cancelled flight).

Enjoy active rest

Disney Keynote Speaker
It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Enjoy active rest.

Yesterday, Saturday, and today are intentional breaks from exercise.

Knowing i’ll away from home for five days makes tomorrow morning’s workout a valuable and highly anticipated one.

Son, sometimes working out can feel like a treat.

You feel better afterwards

Apple World Wide Developers Conference is in three days. Love the image….the image speaks to how i often feel when something great happens.

You feel better afterwards.

What?

After exercising, generally, you feel better afterwards.

Son, bank on this (99.1% of the time).

He’s not lazy and he’s not rich

Five guys laid six pallets of mulch yesterday in 90-degree weather. Talk about a workout.

There was a day when i did all of it myself.

Turn frustration into opportunity

Landscape home
In my mind, the landscaper has this one.
Home landscaping
Need to clarify whether he uses a ladder when necessary. And even if no, tell me so when i see an obvious and overlooked shrub, i don’t do it myself.

Turn frustration into opportunity.

Yes.

With no curtains on most of our windows, nature is glorious to look at all day long. Noticed an overburdened split-leaf philodendron that’s been climbing a palm tree for 15 years maybe. It wasn’t trimmed two weeks ago.

At high noon, in the heat of the day, grabbed a ladder and in the shade of the palms, delighted in being outside on a working break.

Being in the garden is an easy way to toss the world’s cares aside for awhile.

In college, get outside often. Even when you don’t feel like it. It’s great medicine.
