finish each day and be done with it

Started by Steve @ bripblap · 10 months ago

Today I woke up and braced myself for Mondays, as I often do. I greeted Bubelah and Pumpkin when they came downstairs.  I drank coffee and ate eggs.  I went up to get Little Buddy when he awoke.  We enjoyed our morning.  I kissed everyone goodbye and walked out the front doo ... Continue reading »

    Sounds like a good day (well, minus the “handholding memos"). I like the idea of starting each day with a clean slate. When we allow things to carry over day after day stress and depression tend to really pile up and weigh you down. This is something I need to work on.

    I have to admit it's been a few weeks since I've checked in with BripBlap, and I'm glad I came back.

    Well congrats on simplifying your life Steve. Even though I propagade dividend growth investing to masses, I do agree that index funds work for most investors who don't want to get involved in stock picking and selection and I respect that.

    By the way I listened to you on the radio. http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/...

    Congrats on being a celebrity! :-)

    Many thanks - my 15 minutes were cut down to 5, but hey, it was actually a very fun interview and I enjoyed doing it.

    I agree with moving on after the day is done, but be careful not to let too many days pass you by in a blur. It's easy to get into a routine and lose track of time...

    Love it. As for the handholding - sometimes you have to have the bad stuff to remind you why the good stuff is so good. :)

    Beautiful. I too feel guilty when I brush off work to enjoy a quiet evening. But while I may feel twinges of guilt in the moment, in the end, I never regret it. The work gets done eventually, and the balance is priceless. (I think you really put it well with the puzzle piece analogy.)
