Very little is as satisfying as completing a project.

Sure, there’s more coming. Plenty more.

But knocking one out, completely done?

That’s a great feeling.

America isn’t one thing. I mean, it is. It’s a country.

Like a quilt is a quilt.

But it’s made up of individual components, which is what gives the quilt its beauty. S

o too does America get its beauty from all of its pieces.

Sometimes the point in doing it isn’t how it’s received.

It’s in the doing itself.

Our day to day is an accumulation of everything before. for many things that’s helpful. Don’t touch a hot stove for instance.

But we can get locked in negative habits just as easily. And it‘s those that will sometimes require a restart.

We think there is plenty of time. That we’ll get it done.

But, time passes. It slips away. And what are we left with?

I think, in the end, the best thing is to have as few regrets as possible.

Because there just isn’t enough time.

You look left, and it’s a line of fence as far as the eye can see. Turn right, and it’s the same.

My question to you is, are you in a fence, or are outside of it?

Critique done well can be beneficial.

Critique done poorly can be crippling.

But doing the work should always come first.

Does our public face cripple our honesty?

If we were not concerned with how people would see us – what would we say?

Are we honest? Or would it change significantly?

Another thing to think about, in these interesting times.

There are only so many hours in the day. For many of us, we don’t know how to use them.

They get used. Hours pass. Regardless of what we’re doing.

Sometimes they feel slow. Sometimes quick. But they pass. 

What’s “rigjt” now, may not have been right a hundred years ago.

What we think is right now, may not be in a hundred years.

Yet must of us think we’re certain of what we know. Perhaps as should be a bit more curious.
