Get up, wake up, stand up, and look where you’re going. Those were words from a surfer teaching another how to surf. It’s the complete opposite of my surf school. I didn’t get up, didn’t wake up, didn’t stand up. Oh, and I didn’t look around.
DRAW LINES, BUT KEEP IT QUIET

If you want to set a border, first draw lines. Could be a property line, could be a county line, or state line. Why not start with some internal work first? Internal work? What’s that?
PERSONAL ATTACHMENTS KEEP GROWING
July 31, 2024 by
I’ll define ‘personal attachments’ first: it’s your leg, your arm, your head. It’s anything you’ve grown fond of. Baby boomers are officially old enough to have grown fond of most everything. And that’s a normal life.
BONA FIDE BLOGGER WITH VERIFIABLE TRUE STORY
July 29, 2024 by

EMPATHY FEELINGS? LET ‘EM OUT
