The spiritual connotation of going the extra inch is business at it’s best.

And it isn’t just for business.

Had the cab driver drop me off at the subdivision entrance and walked the half mile home with a suitcase and backpack.

A walk no longer than the one frequently taken at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport (the world’s busiest).

The sights, smells, humidity, and familiarity at 7am was a wonderful welcome home.

The art of being the weirdest person in the room.

All the middle-aged husky men with white hair and long white beards attending the Santa Claus convention seem weird to just about everyone.

Except to all the other folks who look like, and enjoy the annual opportunity to portray Santa Claus for a few weeks to bring joy to youngsters.

The person who always has one insightful, courageous question to ask, and to ask it in a non-threatening way at just the right moment…

These people seem like antagonists. Weirdos who “just don’t get it”.

But to others seeking truth and authenticity, it’s weirdly refreshing and inspiring.

What if we did what we say were gonna do?

Wonder if she does what she says she’s gonna do

 

What if we did what we say were gonna do? Yeah, “What if?”

Classic question. Classic response, “We’ll never know, because we never did what we said we were gonna do.”

So today I’m kickin’ my own butt to get five blogs written before midnight. Every. Single. Day.

Why “kill myself” on those rare days when it’s not done before sunrise?

Because it’s what I say I do. So I do it.

Everyday is a helluva commitment.
