A few years ago, this large pine tree feel near our property. I got my chainsaw out and began cutting it up for firewood, starting at the top. When I got to the top of the trunk, it started to move. I stepped back and watch as it stood back up. A large rock was tangled in its roots, providing a counterweight. It's now our flagpole.

Awesome. The eagles, loons, and ospreys are back. It's track and field season. The weather has been great.

Perspective. We live in one of the best times in human history, have luxuries unimaginable to the vast majority of human times. Choose to look at the positives.

If they were dead, they'd be carrion.

Write down every single thing you buy before you buy it. Name and price. It gets your rational mind to engage and many times, I change my mind because I realize I don't need the thing and maybe don't even want it.

Look out for number one. Selfishness is at the root of most dangers to humanity.

Some may argue these aren't opposites.

A morning. A friend of my son's had a hearing and sentencing. His family wouldn't go. He called me and asked if I would. I just sat there. He thanked me afterward. He just wanted a familiar face there.
