If you were to write your own epitaph right now… what would you say? Would you be happy with what you’ve accomplished? Would you be pleased with who you’ve become? If someone else wrote it – how would it mesh with what you would say? Would you emphasize the same things that someone else would? […]

What’s the dearest thing to you Cosmic Reader? Your life? Your family? Your friends? Your money/possessions? And what are you willing to give up to retain it? Your job? Your family? Your goals?

And yes, there are some things you can never accomplish regardless of your attitude. To repeat… duly

Contrary to some people’s opinion, being a tad old fashion is not necessarily a negative. Are you old fashion? In some things, I am. Do you even know what old fashion is? For that matter, were you even taught or did you observe what today would be called ‘old fashion’? So what, exactly, is old

Since I’m an options planner I do enjoy ‘what, if’. What, if always reminds me of puzzles, of which I am extremely fond, that expands how I think about something. Closely related are the ‘if, then’. These kinds of mental gymnastics are great fun. I suspect that the bottom line in this is that I
