I started working on the deck project around noon, and continued, making slow but steady progress, until I was thwarted by gale force winds and monsoon rains!
A couple of small trees in the yard blew down. Two fairly large papaya trees in the neighbor’s yard fell, a result of the saturated soil and the intense wind.
Quotations from Tim Ferriss, author of The Four Hour Work Week:
Tomorrow becomes never.
… to have quality and less clutter.
Do all the things you want to do; be all the things you want to be.
“Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.
“Possessions, like fat, insulate us from the outside world, building a wall of junk which we can hide behind. Our clutter becomes an insular mechanism for shielding ourselves from pain. We all do to some degree, but few ever make the correlation. The sheer act of acquiring stuff, too, can be a self-medication. How many of us shop in order to feel better? But it´s a temporary fix that, in the end, only adds to our depression.”
