Just some thoughts...

Today I am simply reflecting on a few things in life that I try to remind myself of often, some of them daily. It's an eclectic list. Some of the ideas keep me focused. Some are purely for pleasure. A few may not make any sense at all.

- I'm glad I woke up today. It could be worse. 

Slow down. Relax.

- My family is healthy and happy. Everything else is a bonus.

- Opportunity abounds. We just have to take advantage of it.

- When it comes to investing, I always, always, pay myself first.

- I am fortunate I have the freedom to do most of what I want. Collect wine. Invest. Travel. Write.

- The power of compounding interest and dividends can be amazing.

Enjoy simple pleasures

- ITunes University offers a lot of free "education."

- Tomorrow is a clean slate, a fresh start. Make the most of it.

- Don't be in a hurry. Enjoy small pleasures when they come along.

- Most of what is worried about seldom comes to fruition. 

I look forward to each morning. What can I accomplish today? Who can I help, teach, or encourage? How can I make my life, my family's life, someone else's life just a little bit better today?

Take a few minutes each day to ponder.........
