Fall Back 2021
Got an extra hour of 🛌🏼 sleep this weekend and the temperatures are more 🍂 Autumnal 🍂 again. Life is good.
Work Your Plan
If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. ~Jim Rohn
My younger son is spending a lot of time hating on his current circumstances. Nothing lasts forever, sunshine.
The best way to make a change is to actually have a plan.
Don’t like where you live? Figure out someplace you’d like better and go visit. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side fo the fence, but you won’t know until you visit.
Don’t like what you do? Figure out what you do want to do and figure out how to get a job doing that.
Complaining may be cathartic but it doesn’t create an actionable plan.
Your focus determines your destination. If you focus on what you hate, all you’ll have is more and more of that.
Get the whinging out of your system and focus on something else.
Seasonal Variation
How I Grew Up in The Coldest Town on Earth (-71°C, -96°F) Yakutia
We had a bit of a cold snap last week but at least it isn’t Siberia. Be that as it may, people do acclimatize.
🦄 You need to find your happy place. 🌴
For me, that’s right here where I am. I have been other places. I could live in some of them if I absolutely had to, but I love rural Pennsylvania. I love the hills. I love the seasons. I love the wet bottom Shoo Fly Pie (even though I technically can’t eat it).
Unfortunately, Connor doesn’t like the cold and Allan just plain doesn’t like anything.
Well, one problem is easily solved. The other requires a bit of research and a bit of reflection.
In either case, ❄️ Winter is coming... ❄️
Progress
Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do. ~Benjamin Spock
Well, I’ve got a couple of episodes of Holly and Ivy written and next steps are suggesting themselves. That’s my process and I’m sticking to it. Since time is short, I’ve got to roll with what works for me.
What doesn’t work for me is being behind again. I really wanted to be at least halfway done by now, but that’s also part of my process.
Whatever.
At least I’m making some progress.
That’s a happy, almost-holiday season hump day for you. Have a marvelous week.
