Teaching your kids to follow their passion… you added this to the value equation right?

Your move to Austin really sounds like a great one! You’ve been happy and busy ever since you got there!
As for the expression “Give and take”, I never thought about it before but I guess it is part of my life; somethings I would give up in a second and others that I deeply cherish!
Thanks for always coming up with interesting topics!
Mari-jo

I think sometimes you have to accept life as it is, other times you can actively change stuff. I ain’t one for over analysis.

Not sure about the give and take though.

In my experience the phrase “sh*t happens deal with it” is the better truism. That’s not me being negative or cycnical by the way, just how I’ve found things to be in my 46 years on this remarkable planet.

Despite what I’ve writen above, I am an optimist though!

I really like your thought process on the give and take. Incredible.

It is one that comes to the forefront of my life on a regular basis but I look at it a bit differently. What do I ‘take away’ with me by giving? If I take away with me – happiness, compassion, better life for my fellow man or maybe just a welcoming smile by giving than to me it’s worth it. I try not to equate losing something by giving.

In order to be happy, I think we have to make tough decisions about what it is that we REALLY want at a particular time. That can keep changing and evolving of course, in order to grow and experience new things.

Are you living in Austin now, or just there temporarily?
