Mind Blown

Wow! Is it ever!  Who are these people who borrow money for toys and vacations? Do they not pay attention to a little thing called interest?  Interest on a loan is a great thing - when you're the one collecting it.

2017 Goals

Bob's Goals: More time with grandkids in Kearney, NE. More contact and time with sibs. Finish the “Full Grassley”, i.e, visit all 99 counties in Iowa. Be more reflective and appreciative. Pass the general test to upgrade my amateur radio license. Continue to improve the agency and the Plan and make both independent of time and location. Gracefully exit groups and committees where I no longer have a great passion for their mission or I am doing too much of the work. Improve my work/life balance. Debbie's Goals: Work less Look for a vacation home Travel more with my hubby

Conroyisms – Part 7

Always lead with love. Self-actualized people can spot each other in a crowded room. Do you want my assessment of your unsolicited advice or shall I spare your feelings? If the other party in a discussion leads with their feelings leave the discussion with good-mannered expediency. Productivity equals self-esteem while a lack of productivity equals death of the human spirit. No government sponsored social program has ever created self-esteem. You are unique, just like everyone else. Expectations are critical: too low and your abilities are squandered; too high and your happiness is impossible. Apparently, every society has to try progressivism/socialism/communism at least once to see if it might work this time.
