Don’t Panic
Create an emergency preparedness plan. This is printed in large letters on the cover of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. There’s also a scene in Chicken Run where one of the chickens says, “We mustn’t panic, we mustn’t panic…” and then all the chickens panic. I guess that’s where I am today on this one.

Zig, Dale, and Napoleon
I’ve got to get back into my abundance training. I read Zig Ziglar’e Over the Top many years ago but I never made a serious attempt at his first book See You at the Top. I need to rectify that. I have been pretty good at applying Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence…

Well That’s Interesting
Words too many people use. Of all the words in the English language I think “interesting” is one of the least interesting. People say it to mean, “yeah, whatever” around here. Of course there’s also “fine.” Hardly anyone who says they are fine actually is. I have a friend who used to get very angry…

Diapers, and Lightbulbs, and Boys! Oh My!
It’s way too early in the morning for me to be so awake. This is becoming more typical. My youngest son asked for a diaper so I got out of bed. I changed him and he really needed it. His brother was hovering so I changed him too even though he did not really need…

Comfort Zone
What brings you peace? I want prosperity more than peace. I spend too much time in my comfort zone as it is. Having more and importantly being more seems to be at odds with any desire for peace. A lot of people don’t want drama and don’t want stress. I would like more of both…

Noon on Tuesday
I have to go to pharmacy in a couple of hours. But I’m still in my pajamas. On the theory that I should dress for the job I want pajamas are my first choice. But my Walgreens “uniform” is pretty close to my day clothes. I’m more colorful on the days I don’t have pharmacy…

Mondays Aren’t Bad
When I’m not working full time I usually get my Mondays off from Walgreens. It’s 3:21pm and I’m still in my pajamas. While there are certainly other reasons to get dressed and leave the house my traditional job is still the biggest one. I go to church fairly regularly and I’ll walk to the store.…

Inspiring
It made it to Sacrament Meeting today. The brother who drives me also picked up a Spanish speaking family. I was able to understand about a third of the words in the conversation to church. Sacrament Meeting was pretty bland. A member of the stake high council and his daughter spoke. Both talked about how…

Check List
Most important things to carry. I went to Walgreens today even though I wasn’t scheduled. When I leave I check for seven things. I have to have my phone, my keys, my wallet, my handkerchief, my lanyard, a Walgreens’ pen, and a snack. Any other time I leave the house I still go through the…
