I've grown so very tired of this ongoing culture war. At this point I don't even really care what "side" folks feel they're on. If someone is putting off an angry, fearful or self righteous energy, I have to steer clear for my own mental well being. I realize the manipulation is running in overdrive and a lot of folks just aren't awake to that yet. #growyourself #grownostr

I have this instinct lately to remove "I should..." from my mental processes. I know for a fact that when I operate instinctually with only light planning and a lot of trust that the most amazing and welcome changes occur in my life. Also, because I'm certain that my base setting is one of providing value and service, going with these instincts keeps me on a good path. Too much "I should" actually steers me too close to useless frustration.

I turned 40 yesterday. I don't get overly attached to numbers and what some people feel they represent. I remain focused on growing myself, improving my circumstances and pursuing my goals. That said, I continue to balance enjoyment and not being so damn serious. #40 #growyourself #grownostr

Heard on The Survival Podcast that the sMile app is a pedometers that rewards your physical activity with Sats. Considering I walk 5 to 10 miles a day, I've put it on my phone. #smileapp #grownostr #growyourself

Y'all haven't been entertained until you've watched turkeys chase June bugs through the yard.

Jackson and I are moving 3.5 tons of river rock today to create a clean, no maintenance edge for some folks near downtown. Sweat = $$$ = freedom. #grownostr #growyourself

Just saw an East Tennessee tradition: fella driving the Craftsman mower out of the liquor store parking lot.

My idea of a good Saturday: sitting in my little stock tank pool watching the turkeys chase June bugs. #grownostr #growyourself
