The main point: I’ve been writing longer pieces than usual, and hope to cut back – for your sake.

Live music, in concert. Few things as exciting. At some point, the guitarist, and the drummer, gets a few minutes to individually go off on a riff. We enjoy it because we’re a captive audience, and it’s stuff we can’t get on a CD.

Six things Americans will miss being grateful for if our lives are disorganized

the ultimate sophistication is simplicity

 

Six things Americans will miss being grateful for if our lives are disorganized:

  1. breath in our nostrils
  2. a clean shirt on our back
  3. a hot meal every day
  4. peace in our soul
  5. joy in our spirit
  6. love in our heart

Disorganization isn’t confined to a messy desk or closet. It clutters and buries our blessings too.

There reasons we can get away with being disorganized at home:

  1. at best, only one or two people care (not enough pressure to change)
  2. our paycheck stays the same (no financial incentive)
  3. because we’ve become blind to it and not shocked by it (what we accept by default becomes the standard)

We can battle this.

We can win.

But what’s the point?

And that’s the point?

nice sentiment
Here’s to all of us, that we find peace, joy, and contentment

 

But wait, yesterday’s answer was wrong. We don’t get to stop worrying when we die.

Unless.

Unless we’ve set things up so we haven’t left a mess for our loved ones to clean up.

We should leave things better than we found them.

How on earth could anyone not see that responsibility coming and completely ignore it?
