Thinking about all the wisdom presented here everyday. What a good way to start each day reading some of my favorite writers and philosophers on this very site.

My Helene says..."You can't have everything you want" and if you knew her you would see that she is a together person who deals with the reality of today and is cheerful and caring of others.

And if you think about it, that is true. None of us can have everything we want. Doing everything you can to help you like what you have today is sometimes the way to deal with frustration about the future. I have wasted so many precious days worrying and wondering.

I try really hard to find joy in this moment, and kind of like the motto, "Bloom where you're planted". (I fail often at this endeavor)

And Swimdawg, the area south of 466A will have a number of new villages and the first on that side will be called Sanibel. It will be fun to see the names of each new village emerge as they approach the new square, Brownwood.

I am glad that none of us is that far from any of the other of us. It is a big small town, or a small big town.
