5 things to think about

Aug 9, 2024

Throughout the past week, I jotted down 5 short ideas that are at least worth thinking about. If you don’t agree, feel free to call maintenance. 😉

  1. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.
  2. It’s better for you to be at the back of a lion than to be in front of a cow.
  3. A job is what you get paid for and a calling is what you are made for.
  4. Live your life the way you want to leave your life.
  5. Until you handle it with grace, it will always be in your face.

Which one of the above resonates with you most?

I’d love to give credit where credit is due, but I can’t even remember now where I read these tidbits of wisdom. Right now, I’m feeling a whole lot more beat up than I do wise.

Another area that’s now ready for some landscape love. Because it’s so late in the season, mums are going to be the plant of choice.

After that task, I push mowed and weed eated while Mr. Pesky took care of the mowing for me. Perry gets to spend one of his weekend days off putting a new belt on the ole’ cub cadet. Thank you, Carl… and sorry, Perry.

Now you know: In the early days of Fed-Ex, there was one time the company couldn’t afford the fuel bill for their planes, so the founder took the company’s last $5,000 and went to Las Vegas and won $27,000 playing blackjack, and kept the company afloat.
