Happy Halloween🎃 and Día de los Muertos💀🎉,
We’re hoping November 1st finds you in your finest form, with your Medicare Insurance working as it should📋🏥👍.
If you are unsure, e-mail Gray, Gray@TheBig65.com, or book a time on my calendar.
Remember when your varmints were pipsqueaks? You blink one day, then they’re up and out. How the hell did that happen🤔?
Of course we miss em’, but it sure beats the alternative… them living in the basement and never growing up🧔♂️👕🩳🎮🍕🥤🛋️🏠⬇️
Yet on cold November mornings, it doesn’t stop us from reminiscing!
We were in Southern California at the time of this picture, a stone’s throw from Disneyland, scraping by as young parents, but we always got pumpkins. I mean ya gotta have pumpkins, right?
Now we see our adult kids, navigating their own adventures, moving at light speed, and we know they’re just like us… too busy to appreciate the magic of the moment.
Still, I love to carve pumpkins. And that’s the point of traditions and rituals, maintaining connection and meaning, passing it on to the next generation.
My Dad would’ve been 100 this week. I still miss him every time I move a bishop, but I’m glad he’s gone. He died on his own terms, never a burden to the ones he loved.
I hope, when it’s my time, in 5 minutes or 50 years, that I depart with his grace.
So many things are beyond our control, but there are plenty of things we can do to make the passing less painful for those we love when it eventually happens:
-
Update our wills and keep the beneficiaries current.
-
Establish or revisit medical power of attorney and advance directives.
-
Make sure someone you trust knows where important documents are located.
Review your financial and insurance plans regularly so loved ones aren’t left guessing.
These steps won’t erase uncertainty — nothing can — but they can give us agency, dignity, and peace of mind.
And they’ll make life a little easier for the people we care about most, when the time comes.
Client Judy is doing her best to make sure abominable snowman doesn’t have to worry about her 😆.
When Q took Miti to a coffin race in Colorado Springs last weekend, complete strangers reached out and welcomed Miti to America. The dude on the left put his hat on Miti for a photo.
Despite the noise, anger, and the fear amplified by social media, remember the reality:
Americans are the kindest, most decent people you will ever meet anywhere in the world.
I will never minimize the challenges we face, but always remember…
There is no them, there is only us!
If you see the world as broken, you’re right! If you see the world as fixable, you’re also right!
When Miti returns to Madagascar next summer, she’ll return to one of the poorest nations on the earth. Her country is broken by corruption, poverty, and political unrest.
So when she hears talk about the problems we face here in the US, she looks at us in disbelief.
“What problems?” She asks. Perspective is everything.
So on this Día de los Muertos, give thanks for what you have and live this day as if it were your last!
Keep squeezing the juice🍊 out of life and look for ways to help others.
If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
