Giddy (and) UP

Woman on touring bicycle
Puget Sound. Honeymoon. We’ve been filling our “Adventure Book” even before we got married.

Hoping for the best is an awesome mindset.

dad

Giddy about returning to Glacier in as little as a week.

UP is our favorite Pixar movie.

Adventure is out there.

We know it.

We love doing it.

Grateful for hoping for the best because it led me to hold off on not canceling every reservation.

Thank goodness.

Hoping Friday’s eye exam is the green light to (a return to our Summer 2023) Adventure.

Our packed and organized rental van is waiting for our arrival.

Note: We’ve been paying for the van even though no one is driving it.

Yo, Bro

Four people at a Japanese restaurant
Yo, bruh, sorry that Tampa beat the Vikings. Photo: yesterday at Teppen Edo (Japan). Brad, our 2nd fraternity president, and Dave joined today’s spontaneous group call. Brad had to bounce after 30 mins. He and his family had to drive to the Vikings game. Playing Tampa Bay (our”home team”). “We” won. Sorry Brad.
11-second video: To clarify, 90 minutes on the second dip in the pool. A group phone call with a couple fraternity brothers.

i have no regrets, but if forced at knifepoint to “confess”, i’d say i regret being a busy person most of my life.

Everything teaches.

Everything.

Even regret.

And especially (self) forgiveness and learning from regret.

Become the lifestyle expert

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Circa 2013, University of Iowa Healthcare (UIHC) client. They loved the “Teddy Bear Story”, and insisted i shared it with every audience. “Jack the Bear” impacted thousands of UIHC employees.

Become a personal vibrancy expert.

dad

Should a person become a personal vibrancy expert?

Or…

Why should a person not become a personal vibrancy expert?

Lifetime discipline is hard.

Lifetime regret is hard.

Seems like answers are obvious when you do the math.

Who got prioritized priorities?

Way back at the beginning, circa 2009.

What you know is worthless without application.
