If you ‘re an adult with a job and rent or mortgage, life’s a daily grind, isn’t it?
How do you manage it?
Or, have you given up and medicated yourself, so you can keep putting off important things without any guilt.
Yeah, that’s what “medicating” does, it dramatically reduces guilt.
Life can be a train wreck if we don’t get tough and get started.
Simplify?
What do you do?

Can you remember the day and time you were born?
Can you recall the circumstances?
Most births are routine and uncomplicated.
Most.
But not all.
I remember vividly, shortly before 9:17AM, August 12, 2000, how I was feeling.
Don’t take the girl. (wait patiently for the 15-second commercial to end before it starts)

Over at jungle jeff today, I posted about the latest bit of challenging news.
And you hear me, over and over, talk about how life is a daily grind.
Don’t get me wrong, there is joy, hope and goodness surrounding us. I get that. And am sustained by it.
Yet.
Yet the latest news says we better be prepared for stormy weather.
Been talking about that too.

Life is hard.
There is virtually nothing we can do about it.
The key is to simplify as much of it as possible.
Do you find that trying to work smarter is actually harder?

This blog, of the five, is about the day to day stuff that doesn’t fall into one of life’s big four choices – MIND, BODY, SPIRIT, MONEY.
I mean, where would picking out a puppy fall? Or picking a Vet?
We’ve been going to the same Vet for 23 years, in Kissimmee, Florida.
As our most recent Lab Carter, began to fail rapidly on February 10, we chose a Vet much closer.
Why? Because I knew we’d be making many trips, maybe even daily. Chapin came with Carter and me several times.
I dug the grave (above) and buried Carter on Valentine’s Day.
Then the day after I laid Carter to rest, a Monday, I went in to pay the Vet bill.
Amanda, who saw me first, well, the first thing she said was, “How’s your son?”
