Dr. Dan Stock, Taking a Relationship to the Next Level, Wanting to be Sure of You

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?"
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”

Good morning world, I’m here sitting on top of a mountain just looking at a fantastic sunrise and thankful for another day something bigger than myself has made.  I slept in this morning; I snuggled with my wife, PVHT was stretched out, Gracie, our cat, joined us, a full bed of love and happiness.

We had a nice calm day of work; we had some time to meditate; I caught up with my POD, my group of five that lifts me every week; if you do not have a small group, might I suggest you form one?  Pick 3 or 4 people you value to bring joy and happiness into your life and then weekly jump on a virtual call and check-in. It’s a magical part of my week.

Years ago, I met a young man from Albany, IN.  We became friends; he’s much younger than I, he’s about 30, but I had a solid connection to his entrepreneurial spirit.   Over time we adopted him; he has keys to all our homes, he now lives in Indy and Denver, he liked our life and made a carbon copy.  We got a text a few weeks ago; he wanted to take our relationship to the next level, it was time we met his parents.

Yesterday afternoon, Nate, his parents, and Nate’s roommate Bay came over for dinner.   My wife had made some bowtie pasta and broccoli salad, Nate cooked some Brauts, and we used our hotdog machine to steam the buns.  We dined like Kings and Queens, and I got to know his parents, his father and I had many connections from home; he grew up in a community not far from my hometown, he’s a successful salesman, we had a lot to talk about.

After dinner, we sat on the deck and started a Euchre tournament, my wife and I took home the trophy; it’s nice to have our midwestern visitors know how to play our favorite game. Then, they left, and Bay stayed; we played a little gin before hitting the bed at a decent hour.

I got a video sent to me yesterday; I thought I would share it.  It’s from Indiana, a school board meeting at the Mount Vernon high school where Dr. Dan Stock dismantles the current narrative of COVID.  Watch this and open your mind:

According to Dr. Dan, the CDC is not following its science; masks are useless against COVID, we will never rid ourselves of this virus, we need to learn how to live with it, it’s what many have been trying to say, but due to extensive tech censorship, there can be only one path forward.

Youtube recently removed a video of a Biden Aid talking about how masks do not work; I fear most of the rhetoric has been misguided at best; do you think the government might be lying to us?  I think it is time to allow the citizens of our country to do as they see fit, you may give guidance, but each person should use their risk tolerance to lead the life they choose. 

Guests begin arriving for my wife’s horse trip this morning.  Over the coming days, the house will fill with women going on a horse trip canceled because of mudslides.  My wife made a successful pivot and now has a full slate of mountain top activities for the group.  I’ll be leaving Thursday morning to head to Telluride with my friend to attend my first ever Jazz Fest.  We’ve got a condo in the mountains; it’s the only time my wife and I are apart; I’ll miss her, but I am looking forward to the adventure.

We found a new band I thought I would recommend.  Adam and the Metal Hawks are worth a listen; it’s as if Jack Black had a kid who formed a band, then they decided to rock. You can see them here:

I took a journey yesterday; during meditation, I visited my wiser older self; I must say I was impressed how fit I am at 90; other than that, I seemed content and happy, my wife was there too.  We had a good chat, and my older self reminded me what is most important in life.  I gave myself a gift to help me remember the point.  I received a little figurine of a person, that’s it, nothing more, nothing less.   Life is about the human connection. 

I also want to share that my mindset moving forward is to look at everything as a gift and opportunity. But, no matter what happens, there is a lesson to be learned, who is to say what is good or bad? I’m sure a few are reading this and thinking, the boy has lost his mind, but trust me, I’ve been on a personal journey of self-reflection, and I’m screaming towards self-actualization. 

Once I arrive, I’ll turn my attention to the world and others to help them achieve Maslow’s highest achievement.  Life is a gift, a present to be enjoyed every moment of every day.  Yes, bad things happen, but if you look back at the bad in your life, there are always lessons that can be learned that help defines who you are today. So, armed with my new technology, I might begin coaching others to live their best life. 

I’m happy; I’m joyful; I’m excited to see what this day brings.  I’ve got a few meetings, a couple of projects that will take some time, and of course, I’ll spend a spell meditating, setting my mind for another day of joyful existence. So, I hope you too are full of joy and happiness and if not, do some work, you can arrive at this place of peace and happiness.  Who is John Galt?
