Yeah, the twin siblings of self destruction

There’s no place like home. Is our home heaven or hell?

Who decides?

Trick question.

We know who decides.

How do we see far enough into the future to prepare for whatever life deals us?

When do we make time to see into the future?

When do we make decisions that are difficult but important?

Because this is so challenging, we wait.

Waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self destruction.

Humbled by the home aging process.

All the stuff we collect, store, insure, and think is valuable…

What happens to us when we get older?

Seriously.

Walk the halls of a nursing home.

Rethink?

You’re really busy right?

You’re really busy right?

Even if we have free time, we tend to fill it with things we feel like we can no longer do without.

Always decently pressed for time. No?

One small backpack. No laptop. Three days. Two nights. Cab to and from Senior Living facility.

Blogging on plane with no wifi.

Be organized enough to be conscious enough to stretch out of our comfort zone.

Getting organized is similar to losing weight

Much like trying to lose weight, getting decently organized is a multi-year process that requires us to change many things.

Some changes are relatively small, like curbing souvenir purchases.

Some changes are painful, like purging things we saved but haven’t touched in 10, 20, or even 30 years.

Was hoping by now to have written some really insightful posts from the Glacier trip.

Time.

Priorities.

Organization.

No one builds a reputation on what they’re gonna do.
