Lightning, Thunder, Rain.
I love a tropical storm. The intensity. The freshness. It’s exciting and entertaining. It was the original 5-D natural entertainment option. Fun for the whole family. We’ve had two days in a row of afternoon spectaculars. Wonderful to experience from inside the cave.

Reading A Brief History Of Time and listening to Sapiens on Audible these days. Lots of thoughts percolate up with these types of books.

We like to think there are absolute solutions but really they are just more, or less, palatable tradeoffs.

Your Identity
We don’t stray too far from our comfortable identity. Often people don’t improve their identity either. While being the same as you were 20 years is nice, weren’t there any areas in your life that could have been stretched and improved? What is the identity you’d like to grow into in the next 2 years?

Avoiding Reality Doesn’t Change It
Approach challenging topics head on. Avoiding them doesn’t make them any better.
