Playing the role of Grandparent is new territory.

A milestone.

An unofficial self-designation.

No time-consuming, demanding job to manage.

No worries in the world about taking time off.

No hint of work stress.

Is this Heaven?

Quietly, we’ve reached 15 years

Odds are high you won’t have time to watch this TED Talk.

Yet know i felt the same “i don’t have time nor interest right now” feeling.

If you become an exception and watch (like i just did), odds are high you won’t finish (i did finish, but doubted i would).

There’s a point where the TED Talk’s silence will unnerve you.

Becoming unnerved is a glorious place.

Why?

It challenges you in uncomfortable ways.

Lean into discomfort.

Discomfort exists to help things grow: people, processes, places.

Today starts the 15th year of prolific writing.

Five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Four leap years at 366 days each plus 10 years at 365 days each.

That’s 5,114 consecutive days.

Five differently-themed blog posts a day.

That’s 25,570 published blog posts.

Shhhh.

Don’t tell anyone.

Easy peasy peace

13-second video: Shared this on Instagram yesterday.

Occasionally, a brief demonstration is helpful to show how to practice peace.

Someone posted an unwelcomed comment on Instagram.

At this point, there are several choices.

Great habits reduce decision fatigue and ensure quality and consistency.

In three clicks or so, the commentor is blocked and comment removed.

Easy peasy. Peace.

Pro tip: Forgive the commentor. Smile. Happy present moment.

What you get today

8-second video: i ask myself daily.

If all you get today is what you were grateful for yesterday, will it be enough?

9-second video: Two challenges in life.

The video shares two simple and profound life challenges.

Profoundly simple.

Simply profound.

Go.

And best wishes.

Remember, the long way is the short cut.
