"The best way to predict your future is to put it on the calendar—and then earn the right to be there." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Looking at my app today, these aren't just tee times. They are a receipt.

I mean, you don't often get to see something like this on your phone!

Let the bucket begin!

I'm sending this out just as my flight is coming up over the Irish coast - we should be landing in Edinburgh within the hour. My son Tom and I will get at least 4, and perhaps 5 or 6 rounds in. But, we might have—as they say in Scotland—a wee bit o' weather! Hi Dave! LOL!

I never thought I'd see it come to fruition, but I was determined.I certainly won't let a little storm get in the way of a bucket list!

Look, I know I was going to stop posting about this, but not yet.

You might remember that back in March, I was in the thick of "Rotation Day"—the grueling first steps of twisting a spine that had been fractured in three places. I talked then about "engineering the outcome" and following a blueprint. I did the cardio. I did the heavy lifting. I did the work. I wrote about it in this post, with this image:

Today, the "blueprint" phase is officially over. The "Upcoming Reservations" are no longer abstract goals—they are the next 5 days of my life. If we are lucky, we'll get out for a round on arrival today, simply as a part of the process of staying awake!

I've learned a lot through this whole ordeal. Perhaps its that that we often spend too much time hoping for a "bucket list" moment and not enough time building the bridge to get there. If you are currently in your own version of "Rotation Day"—recovering from a setback, pivoting a business, or grinding through a tough project, keep your eyes on the calendar.

Because the future arrives for those who do the heavy lifting to meet it.
(I'm pretty certain I'll be sharing another golf photo in Monday's inspiration!)

Okay, so it’s been awhile seeing this level of engagement. Folks are apparently in love with #Andor. Watching was , in fact enveloping in the way a good story usually is. The evolution and attention to detail draws you in. The set work is impeccable and it looks real. But this time it’s the acting and ensemble work that really flow.
It’s heartening to see folks go head over heels for something like this.
Very arts appreciating
