Thus, discipline might suggest ... b) spending time in quiet contemplation -- not easy at all. I have another suggestion--spend time with a friend you haven't seen in a while and stay up until 2 a.m. talking about nothing in particular., just enjoying each other's company.

I like your line, "Yes, I am a man of many non-monetizable skills." However, you point out that some of them can bring a "moment of joy for a child." That may be worth more than money.

I totally agree, Bob. I've been paid many times over that way.

"Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain."

Okay, Jim, don't take this wrong, but the above quote almost made me cry...it seems sometimes that we're not just in a storm, but in a "line of storms" like they have in the Midwest. I just want it to be over.

Soooo...I'd better sign up for a dance class. Would that be a Rain Dance? Asking for a friend...
