JW* – He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest. – Dylan Thomas

JR* – Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.- Ernest Hemingway (FYI, this shows up when you do a search for “fantasy football quotes”)

Meaghan read the book “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” and Charles Spurgeon quote above reminded me of my favorite idea from the book.

Get rid of everything that doesn’t give you joy.

At first, it is easy to dismiss this idea.

Why would I have bought it if it didn’t give me joy?

What about the garbage bags? Not much joy there either.

I’m not going to try to answer the details for how it applies to you.

I will, however, try to encourage you think more along those lines.

How much of your current stuff do you enjoy?

How much of your current schedule do you enjoy?

How many of your current relationships do you enjoy?

There is some hard work underneath all of those questions, to be sure. But they seem like they might be worth investigating.

Make it a great day.
