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

No, not the movie Sixteen Candles.

Sixteen months.

Today marks the start of the 16th month of writing five daily blogs. Each one differently themed from the other.

July 1, 2010 – what does it mean to you?

When you look in the mirror each morning, what are you doing to keep up with the daily demands life places on you?

Lean into it!

OK, so I’m on vacation, dividing time between the annual writer’s retreat and home.

What does it mean when we say, “I’m on vacation“?

Yes, some might say, “You need to relax more”.

Not gonna disagree.

I might come back with a, “You need to exercise more”.

Or, “You need to think about your financial future more”.

Or even, “You need to be crystal clear with your spiritual self-confidence”.

When’s your funeral?

When the big bad wolf comes knocking on your door?

Hope your “house” is made of brick.
