I’m not certain I know what they are, but I do know that figuring out what they are is tremendously significant. I want to get to the end of each day, look back at what I accomplished, and feel like I accomplished things that were things that mattered.

Slap-Dash Habits
I’m trying to figure out how to get better at structuring my life. There are several ideas that have been central in my concerns:
- I need to be sure that I’m spending time with my family
- I need to be sure that I’m making time to read good content
- I need to be sure that I’m making time to create
I’m struggling to make these things happen. Some of it is wrapped up in a sense that busy-ness validates who I am (see this post for more). Some of it is wrapped up in an inability to say no to good things that are not primary things. I think/hope some of that will come with maturity. Of course, I guess you gain maturity by learning these hard lessons now.
Anyway, I’m trying to find order and create space, both physically and mentally, to make these priorities happen. “Just say no” isn’t just an anti-drug campaign, I guess.

Sends me a letter filled with insane instructions.

My choice is clear.
There's a Grace
There are those who merely listen ’cause they think they cannot sing; there are those who join the music and they become free – and if your story doesn’t wind up ending happy after all, there’s a grace that’s there, it’s everywhere, and it’s equal to the fall…
