Wealth and happiness. How do we measure them?
Most media paints a pretty convincing picture. It’s stuff that makes us wealthy and happy.
But today, wanted to paint a different perspective, with a few photos from yesterday.
We Are Sooo Rich Now

We Were So Poor…
Most people have a tough climb, to earn what they have and where they are in life.
Some mountains are financial, some health, some career, some education. And some people climb them all. Some don’t climb any.
It’s just the way things work.
We were so poor is a June 26 post that posed the question, “How poor were you?”
We were so poor when we moved to Florida 27 years ago:
- We only had one car
- Daily, I bicycled 36 miles roundtrip to work
- Granted an extra low mortgage rate for our $47,000 home
Do You Have More To Give?
You, yes you, have more to give than they are willing to accept.
Have you ever felt this way about a person or an employer?
A great friend or boss would never let this happen.
But what if your friend or boss does let it happen?
I mean, for a long time.
Then what?
Carter RIP Valentine’s Day
Do you have special loved ones that have moved on?
People or Pets that were an integral part of your life?
Hopefully, we all do.
When you think of them, is it with sadness or joy, or both?
Our beloved Canine Son, Carter, has been gone four exactly five months.
He was the Happiest Dog in the world.
PS. Scroll down for today’s 2nd post, “Get Over It”.
Get Over It
Isn’t that what we need to tell ourselves?
Just get over it!
But we can’t, or don’t want to. Or we’ve tried and failed repeatedly.
Instead, here’s an alternative to our old ways.
Move on. Don’t let mediocrity, or fear, stop us from following our dreams.
I mean, why would we?
Unless we are so tied to what other people will think of us.
If our dreams revolve around being of service to others, why would anything stop us?
Slow us down now and then maybe, but stop us? Rubbish.
But here’s the catch, no one will be more excited about our crazy dream than us.
Period.
