Blessed are the experienced. They possess earned insight and context. The inexperienced make errors the wise know how to prevent.

dad

Be the one in the neighborhood that knows the history.

With an ever changing, and wonderful view.

Improve yourself at home.

Clutter is a sign of discontent. Clutter is a sign of an unprioritized life.

dad

We all have clutter.

Things.

Thoughts.

Goals.

People.

Long list, eh?

Yep.
