Pattern Interrupts

50,000 thoughts a day. That’s what we do, we humans.How many of them are new? Less than 5%. We are. by default. habitually churning through the same thoughts without much changing… That’s…

As I turned 60, a number of things dawned on me. For one, I realized that I am an Elder. And, like almost everyone else I know who has hit this stage of life will say, I don’t feel like an Elder. I still feel like a child. And since I am, in my family, the Eldest Chid, that all kinda made sense to me.

Another thing I’ve slowly realized is that — even though I teach/train/coach for a living, and even though I think I have more and more to share, as I age — I have less and less desire to “tell” people things. Unless they have asked. But I have a lot to share. So my main purpose in these Notes is to share, from the perspective of a perpetual child who now finds himself an Elder. Not things I think anyone else should know, or should do, just things I’ve learned or experienced that have made a difference to me, living this amazing, ridiculous life.
