i crack myself up

Heart shaped stone
Found this one week ago. Took it to Walt Disney World as a gift.

 

Life is funny sometimes.

Just realized i forgot to get down on my knees and pray after waking up.

Been doing this every day since April 1, 2000.

Rather than get on my knees at the airport gate, i quietly folded my hands, bowed my head, closed my eyes, as i sat with my Mac on my lap and 200 people surrounding me.

Play the hand you’re dealt.

PS. i’m going to Walt Disney World.

Is it worth it?

San Antonio airport
San Antonio airport two days ago. What’s the ROI of doing “invisible work”?

 

It’s weird.

What?

Starting every day on my knees.

No one knows.

It’s such a private and seemingly insignificant thing.

But the compound interest of doing it every day for nearly two decades…

Worth it.

But how does one measure the ROI (return on investment)?

Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning

Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning, on my knees.

Mornings are busy times for most of us.

It doesn’t take long, and it’s tempting to stop the 18-year daily routine.

In a way, flossing is the same way. It doesn’t take that long, but as one of the last things i do before sleeping, it would be easier to not do it, or at least not do it daily.

When’s your morning prayer anniversary?

Bicycle lock
Yesterday at Golds Gym. Worked out for an hour and returned to find bike unlocked. Good karma.

 

When’s your morning prayer anniversary?

What?

The month and year you began starting every day on your knees in prayer.

When was that?

April 2000.

Most stress comes from being reactive rather than proactive

heart health tip
We are grateful for being intentional about being proactive.

 

We added saying one thing we’re grateful for after our dinner prayer.

Most stress comes from being reactive rather than proactive.

Comparing ourselves and our situation also insidiously contributes.
