Techie, I was sorry to hear about the layoffs you have pending. I will never forget the night my father came home after laying off 40 people. He sat on the sofa and cried.
Have a great fishing trip.

So very kind of you to post mama. I'm better today. Yesterday I was in a terrible funk. I don't go funk level too often so I know when it's bad. Anyhow, I'm very excited about the weekend. Enjoy yours as well...John xx

Thought For Day 9

Simple pleasures
When you place too many conditions on your enjoyment of life, there is no enjoyment. You can end up working so much to get the conditions just right, that there's no time left to really enjoy yourself.
Let go of the need to have everything just so. Simply and fully enjoy being where you are.

In every moment there is beauty. Rather than striving to make that beauty into what you think it should be, just enjoy it as it is.

Happiness is not something you must prove. Find enjoyment in simply letting it flow.

Instead of working to do happy, be happy. See that the possibilities for joy are far greater than anything you could ever contrive.

There is plenty of joy to be lived in this moment. Let the uniqueness of the moment help you discover new ways of tasting life's real pleasures.

Thought For Day 10 (in advance)

Expect more
This is already a wonderful day. Expect it to get even better.
There are many interesting and useful things you already know. Expect to learn even more.

You've successfully navigated through every past challenge. Expect to reap even greater success from the challenges you now face.

There is already great value in your life and in your world. Expect to create even more.

As good as life is, you can make it even richer and more fulfilling. Expect to move forward today and you'll find a way, no matter what, to make real progress.

If you knew without a doubt that you would get what you expect, what would you expect? Truly expect the best of today and you'll find those expectations leading you steadily forward.

Morning all. After a very chilly morning, and a wonderful ocean swim, I'm heading back home. The water is still remarkably warm. Fishing was very slow early today, but last night we all caught stripers.
