There is a price that has to be paid. The long way is the short cut.

Sometimes On Our Journey, We Miss Our Exit

Overall, we strive to be decently organized.

Without constant effort, we are destined for repetitive frustration, which can increase the odds of addictive behavior, to hide the pain.

Never loose hope because you aren’t perfectly organized.

Just last week, two important (volunteer) commitments were overlooked.

Learn from these. Forgive yourself. Get stronger.

Sometimes A Look Is All It Takes

Life is hard.

Life is glorious.

But mostly, life is hard.

Try to stay organized enough to enjoy the glorious moments, which surround us in small, seemingly insignificant ways.

Keep your eyes open and don’t give up.
