The great Summer of 2013 in our home

The great Summer of 2013 in our home. Six pulse-check questions:

  1. Are we satisfied with our stuff?
  2. How much of what we have do we never use?
  3. How much stuff are we saving because we think we’ll need it in the future?
  4. How long have we been saying that and how true is it?
  5. Is our stuff choking us?
  6. Are we prepared to do anything with our answers?

I often think about the joyous days of not owning much. The freedom from worry and responsibility.

And remember during those same years how cool it would be to own a lot of stuff to make life easier.

Biggest home expansion project since opening in 1992, similar to Walt Disney World’s Fantasyland expansion in 2012.

In the midst of travel and long, long days, we managed our biggest homeowner expansion investment in two decades.

An in-ground pool and complete landscape makeover/expansion.

Cheryl says we may stay here this Summer instead of going to Sanibel Island like we always do.

Insight: Good things happen to those that wait, and work hard, and live simply. I still have never owned a new car. I’m 54.

Hold on, please, just hold on

Notes on Walt Disney World stationary
One small email, one small change, can have massive ripple effects

 

Hold on, please, just hold on. This is what we can whisper (or shout if necessary) to ourselves when our in-box overwhelms us.

Is the long way the short cut?

Florida Sand Hill Cranes are not a normal part of front yard landscapes

 

Is the long way the short cut? Only time will tell.

Who’s got time for that?

Not many.

In fact, no time left this morning to post new landscape photos… hopefully tomorrow.
