Do Something Great
notice what the bear, Jack, is sitting on?
Did you happen to notice the individual legs (in the shadows) in yesterday’s photo? Notice above what Jack’s sitting on? Starting tomorrow (welcome July) I’ll be writing on all five blogs about a recent trip. It was mildly life-changing on a number of fronts. Never saw it coming.

Not sure everyone reads the photo captions on these blogs. Significant thought goes into making the caption(s) thought-provoking. People are busy and distracted (squirrel). Yesterday’s message was in the captions.

we’ll miss each other at next week’s camping trip, where I would have been a chaperone
Some of life’s greatest moments happen when we travel. Very often the people we love are with us when these great moments happen. And often, they are not.

Will I be organized enough to leave for Paris without any stress? Being gone for five full days on another continent is routine for some. As a road warrior, I’ve contained travel to North America. The world is getting smaller and opportunity is getting bigger. I’m open to what lies ahead. Including learning a few new things to be organized for.
Insight: Just when you have great systems and processes in place, be prepared for more and different.
