Some morning thoughts

Benny Johnson set up a GiveSendGo for Holly, the woman who was beaten unconscious in Cincinnati. link below. If you can support, consider giving. Otherwise, consider sharing…

on Twitter, I saw that Charlie Sheen had given $1000. he made a joke about how he played a baseball player for the Cincinnati Indians… Funny enough, we just watched Major league.

Some jackass in the replies commented how he could’ve dug a little deeper in his pockets, having only given $1000. Just out of curiosity, I went to look up Charlie’s net worth. Though I suspect it’s way more, it’s now listed at $3 million. Down from its high at $150 million when he was on 2 1/2 men.

I was pretty shocked, though it did lead to this morning deep thought.

In bad times, we struggle to get by. in good times, we worry about losing what we have. you want to help as much as you can. There is always the nagging fear of squirreling as much away as possible, just in case. there is the constant pressure of making sure you have enough to provide for your family.

And then there is the fear of losing what you have.

And my deep thought was that when it comes to tangible assets, it’s not a question of if we lose what we have. We will inevitably and invariably lose what we have, if only because we can’t take it with us. so the fear of losing it on this earth, the unavoidable reality needs to be put in the perspective: We are not taking it with us, regardless, so we lose it at some point one way or the other.
it may not alleviate the unavoidable stress of existence, finances, bills… but it does put it into perspective in terms of the worst case scenario:

We’re going to lose all of our worldly belongings, one way or the other, sooner or later. 😂Just a question of what we do with it while we have it.

And understanding that all that we take with us is what we leave behind. mind blown

See you all this afternoon!

Week one of life

Despite the failed hatch yesterday, our two chicks are growing beautifully.

We also went back to the farm today and got eight more likely fertilized silky chicken eggs. We’re going to document this one from beginning to end!

5K veteran support race this morning

Marion and I did the annual 5K devil dog wounded veteran relief fund race.

Official time is not yet in, but I think I may have gotten exactly the same time I got last year, virtually to the second. Clocked out at exactly 22 minutes, but I think I started three seconds late. We’ll see.

Now I’m going to go run the 1 mile kids race with Ethan.
