Simple Things
Another bit I’ve touched on before, worth it over and over to repeat, Be thankful for simple things, small things, as oft as possible, More Gratitude = More Satisfying Life Like waking up every day, Like the feeling and taste of cold water, Like your son making an unexpected joke, Like realizing you have two …
Stats
One stat: 420 Ha, not really. It really a stat either…more of a number symbol…so anyway, on a more serious note… Have shared this perspective before, but it’s so fundamental to who and how I am — and how I can improve — that it’s with revisiting.

Around the World, No Screen
As I wrote that title I thought, “…a few different meanings for that one…” It could mean, “traveling around the world with no screen viewing…”, Or “…being in many, many places around the world where this is little or spotty electricity, and/or little/no access to the internet…”, Or what I meant it to be, Playing …
