Reliable home life mediocrity

Sleeping Beauty's Castle

 

Reliable home life mediocrity.

It’s insanely challenging to live lean –  to reduce, reuse, or recycle what we no longer need.

Our emotional attachment to the memories, or the hopes, for certain things slowly poisons our soul.

Mediocrity becomes acceptable because so few are willing to take the risk to shed the unessentials.

Life has five big choices

Balance consists of energy expended in five key areas.

Mental.

Physical.

Spiritual.

Work.

Home.

The Internet’s Only Five-a-Day blogger means nothing.

Except to the parent using these to raise a child.

Themed merchandise is another nail in our coffin?

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?

The prevailing options have been at both ends of the spectrum

The prevailing options have been at both ends of the spectrum – retire early or later. Here are a few:

  • Retire June 9, day after turning 55
  • Retire September 28, day after the official 30-year anniversary.
  • Retire December 31, end of the year.
  • Retire the same day Bob Iger retires (which was originally set for 2015, but he’s extended his contract to 2016) (and he’s since extended it to 2018).
  • Keep working indefinitely and retire in 2015, 2016, or even later.

These are all options that have never been experienced before, so there is no obvious, prevailing wisdom.
