“Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.” ~Woody Allen

“If you want something you never had, then do something you never did.”
I have to admit that I didn’t really consider how much time this tithe of time would take. The whole reason I have created and begun to live this program is that my life was broken. I wanted things I did not have [...]

From Friday at 4 p.m. to Sunday at 8 p.m., I worked forty-two hours. This meant the end of all project-related work for the weekend. I was done with most of the categories, but fitness was neglected and, somewhat surprisingly, I feel [...]

“When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.” ~John Wesley

“The best advice is this: Don’t take advice and don’t give advice.” ~ Unknown
I give a lot of advice. It is a bit of a character flaw. I think I know a lot, but I kind of don’t. But last night I had an opportunity to share the research I have done in my own [...]

Family
I took Katherine to the zoo again. It has been five trips now and we have still not seen the whole thing. I would estimate that we have seen 75% and that does not include the Wild Animal Park. It is really nice [...]

“Never mistake motion for action.” ~Ernest Hemingway
I was really busy today, but I wouldn’t say I was taking action. Besides office hours and household shopping, I found myself on the phone with family and friends most of the morning. My dad called to tell me that, while doing some genealogy research, he found out that [...]

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” ~Thomas Edison
This week was the hardest so far. My sister being in town, although awesome, was a hinderance to the project. I need to figure out ways to continue in spite of distraction.
Day 15 – I prepared for my sister’s arrival.
Day 16 – [...]

Finishing the Race
