Bring Gratitude Challenge Day 30

Day 30
I am grateful for this challenge. It's been a fun exercise of self reflection. I'm not going to continue posting here, but I will share on social media. I've noticed a change in my demeanor since doing this. I'm constantly looking for the positives in all situations.

2025 New Year's Resolution

Image
“Simplicity brings more happiness than complexity.” The theme for 2025 is slowing down. In last year's post I mentioned that as I am nearing 40 years of life, chasing multiple goals just isn't what I'm interested in doing. To combat that, I focused on things I enjoyed and had some success in each of the three goals I set. However, this year I'm only going to have a single resolution and unlike some previous years, this single resolution will not have multiple goals within it. So in 2025, I will . . .  Read Simplify Magazine . Simplify Magazine is from the mind of Joshua Baker, the man behind Becoming Minimalist . I've read a couple of his books and continue to watch many of his YouTube videos, all of which are about...becoming minimalist. From the website, Simplify Magazine "is a quarterly, digital publication that pulls together experts in various fields to address some of the most pressing needs of the modern family."  Essentially each issue is a colle...

March 2025 Wrap-Up

Image
  March felt really busy even though we didn't have any trips or big plans, just a lot of busy weekends and the normal weekly grinds as we head into spring. We got to see Grace and Ben perform at I Love School District Day during mini concerts in band and chorus, respectively. As the weather got better we were able to spend more time outside and yard work has already begun. I also worked towards reorganizing the garage to be able to use my exercise equipment again. It tends to get trapped by random stuff and gifts during the run up to Christmas. My 40th birthday is in just a few days, so I need to really get back into better habits. Blah Blog Log Only a single post in March, which happened to be the wrap up post for February. January 2025 Wrap-Up  - Sourdough discard crackers, a new gaming record, and a show about a nuclear meltdown. Bored  Board Games Another amazing month of gaming that saw 175 plays across 27 games with 57 of the plays being The Guild of Merchant Explo...

I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need this.

Image
I said in my  Turning 39  post last year that I probably wouldn't post something like it this year and I'm not going to. That post was a deep look into what was going on in my life and what had gone on since my  Turning 32  post. Both were written in a sort of stream of consciousness style where I asked a lot of questions and made a lot of statements that I may or may not have stuck to. This post is not that. This is just me recognizing that I am not in my thirties anymore. I am 40 now and I will be in my 40s until I am not. Hopefully I will be in 50s until I am not and then in my 60s until I am not and well...you get what I'm saying. The title of this post comes from a favorite animated show of mine called Aqua Teen Hunger Force . I'm not going to explain what the show is about or why the main characters are anthropomorphic fast food items. You either know it or you don't and either is fine. When I saw the clip again recently, I knew I wanted to use the qu...
