Take time to remember people who are no longer with us. If you know someone who has experienced a loss, it’s my experience that they would prefer to remember them because even though it makes them sad, it also brings them joy to remember them.

Coffeeteria:
An early happy birthday to Audible! Thanks for sharing some pound cake. It went well with the coffee.

Moleskine: talked about my handheld water bottle i use for long runs, which was a game changer. Allows me to take more frequent sips of water rather than trying to guzzle at water fountains (or tables). Similarly, as a christian, I think of the daily time in God’s word and prayer as sipping from the water bottle. Aye!

Moleskine:
“Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.” Proverbs 14:4 ESV

This verse hits me when it comes to thinking about raising kids. It’s a lot of extra work in life investing in your kids. I get stressed out by how hard it is to keep up with it all.

But good, productive, fruitful things in life come with work and mess. You could choose to invest yourself in nothing and enjoy a clean manger. Or you accept the mess and extra work that comes with applying yourself in meaningful work.
