Which Pig Are You?

Hard Work Is Hard, And Smart
Hard Work Is Hard, And Smart

Remember the story of The Three Little Pigs?

Each pig built a house, right?

The villain huffed and puffed.

But the one pig, the serious one, built his house of stone.

Made a big difference, didn’t it?

Living In A Grocery Store?

Can you imagine living in the same house your entire life?

My Mother-In-Law was born at home, 87 years ago, and was one of nine children.

Her mother ran a one-room grocery store in the front room of their row home, which is where I’m writing this from – where the cash register used to be.

The store is now the living room.

Margaret helped her Mother run the store, and eventually got married at 34.

She and her new husband moved into the bedroom above the store. They still live here.

Can you imagine living in the same house for 87 years?

Squirrel?

Are you easily squirrel distracted?

I am.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Do great work.

Lead a balanced life.

It happens one day at a time.

Tomorrow’s post will be from squirrel somewhere different.  🙂

Fox?

Not A Fox, But Close Enough
Not A Fox, But Close Enough

We go on vacations to get away from it all, to have fun, and to be happy.

But why do we need to leave our homes to get that?

It seems counter-intuitive to me, but not in a good counter-intuitive way.

I mean, as adults, shouldn’t we make our homes a place where coming home is like an oasis from the real world?

So last night, it was late, and pulling into our long driveway, you could see the two beady eyes immediately, about 30 meters away.

A fox.

I love country living. It often feels like a vacation.

Being Organized Is Hard

Will It?
Will It?

There’s a secret to life not many people recognize, and even fewer talk about.

Know what it is?

Being organized.

And the “yeast” that makes being organized work, is simplification.

Complicated processes are a slow poison to our souls.

It’s odorless, colorless, tasteless, silent and completely invisible.

Wake up calls, a mentor, a higher purpose, and maybe one other thing are the catalyst to transformational change.
