He who hesitates…
I have a habit of avoiding tasks that involve setting up appointments, especially when it’s going to cost me. Yesterday, I finally called the auto shop to arrange new tires for my summer car. Thinking I could get them quickly, I kept putting it off until the weather warmed up.
I foolishly failed to consider our current environment. The bad news is the tires are on back order until the end of June. If I can’t get my inspection sticker, I will be stuck driving the Jeep instead. The only consolation is that I don’t have to pay for the tires until they are installed.
I learned my lesson and promptly called to set up appointments for a Roli checkup and to get our septic tank pumped. Luckily, I got the two appointments I needed with no issues. In the end, doing them seemed so easy that I wonder why I had waited.

Believe
Is it possible to accomplish something before you believe it is possible? Maybe, but imagine how much harder it must be. When you think, “That’s impossible!” do you try as hard as you could? Do you wrack your brain looking for the answer, spend hours on...
Symptoms
Should you treat a symptom? It depends... Suppressing symptoms might allow you to ignore the problem, making it worse in the long run. Some treatments bring potential side effects that can be as bad or worse than the original problem. What if the symptom...
Right and wrong
If you do it differently than me, does that mean one of us is wrong? What if we’re both wrong? Or maybe there’s more than one way and we’re both right. When I was younger, apparently I knew it all and did not realize that was a problem. I still remember one of our...
Fill your cup
If you want to share generously, make sure your cup is full. When you focus on other people’s needs, you might inadvertently neglect your own. Go too far down this path and you won't be able to help anyone. You'll need someone to take care of you. What do you do to...
