Early Summer Trip day 3, work

mountain biking next to snow drift — Island-Time can happen anytime, and, anywhere. Even here with high-mountain snow banks on Glacier National Park’s famous Going-to-the-Sun Road. Photo: June, years ago, near Logan Pass which was still closed to vehicular traffic.

Can you be on Island-Time anywhere, and anytime?

Again, YES!

Any of us can have our world come crashing in on us at anytime.

i remind myself of this potential reality all day, everyday.

Happy present moment.

Happy present reminder.

Live like you mean it.

And remain a good and decent person as you do it.

Early Summer Trip day 2, work

family attending a high school graduation — Cheryl’s cousins, “Aunt Janice and Uncle Mike” came from Pennsylvania to attend Chapin’s High School graduation a few years back.

Will today be remarkable and fun?

It’s up to me, right?

Michael is working and it’s his Friday.

Busy day for all of us.

Cheryl’s cousin Michael is a great host when we visit Allentown.

Sure hope he feels the same way when he visits us at Walt Disney World.

Early Summer Trip day 1, work

Disneyland Cast Member special 60th name tag — From 2015 when Cheryl returned home after working two weeks at Disneyland.

What will it be like to attend Cheryl’s 50th High School reunion?

Should be fun.

Perhaps in a perfect world it will be “Dazzling”, as Cheryl’s Disney name tag states.

As i travel today from Walt Disney World to Allentown, fun is at the top of my agenda.

Don’t look back

high school track sprint in black and white — 1977. 440. Finish-line string (tape) visible across my waist.

Never looked back.

Looking back was said to shave a fraction of a second off your time.

In hindsight, turns out my races never were that close.

Yet the commitment to produce the fastest time was unshakable.

St Thomas Aquinas Said….

St Thomas Aquinas said….:

“We must love them both – those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject. For both have labored in search for truth, and both have helped us in the finding of it”.

Great quote. Great thought. Great perspective.

To a point, then I must agree to disagree.

Following the status quo, or “That’s the way we’ve always done it”, doesn’t seem to require as much laboring as does challenging the status quo.

Challenging the status quo is a lonely place. A very lonely place.

Take exercise. And to my dismay, we don’t see pictures of or hear stories of Walt Disney making exercise a priority. Sure, he played polo as far as we know.

However, Disney has taught me to eat, drink, sleep and breath excellence. Take Alfred Prokschin. At age 100, he won a Gold medal two weeks ago at the WMA Masters Tarck & Field World Championships in Lahti, Finland:
