On the desk in the Pennsylvania home is a small Snowman pencil holder. No big deal. Many homes have themed decorations.

Can’t help but wonder if these items become commercially viable because the civilized human race is spending insidiously less time outdoors.

Does the snowman pencil holder remind us of Winter or does nature?

(photo: Empty nester’s often use their children’s bedrooms for storage)

Do not judge others.

Others, please do not judge us.

If we can agree that neither of us is in charge of the other and neither will change to suit the other…

Let us be at peace with that and let the cards of the future fall where they may.

Seems fair and reasonable.

It only took two seconds to understand the personal value of being decently organized.

(photo: Many creatures in nature return to their birthplace. Many do not. This Cicada was ten steps from where the Hawk was photographed.)

Returning to our birthplace, many people will recall us as we were.

If we have changed, we will need to feel good with this change. Whether or not anyone else likes the person we’ve become.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you. – Lao Tzu

Let’s assume that no matter who or what we are, our foundation is that we are a good and decent person.

Be organized enough for incredible risk taking.

Looks good on paper.

What about real life?

Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Take your time but hurry up.
