No Reason to Be Bored
Nov 16th
A new blog I’ve been real excited about is the Art of Minimalism. Mike has some really good content that has made me think and want to read more. It’s really good stuff. His latest post on the subject of Why we are Bored. This hits home, because I often find myself bored. So I find something to do, and then become overwhelmed, and realize maybe my time could’ve been better spent somewhere else.

Confined inside the word “Niche”
Nov 10th
Well it’s been about 2 months since I started Think Then Thrive. I started it because something in me just said, “do it!” I had nothing to lose. I knew I’m not a gifted writer.

So Christmas is around the corner of course. Have you seen all the decorations in the stores? It’s the beginning of November! Last night, my wife laid out her plans for outside Christmas lights. Every year, Christmas lights are a big deal in our neighborhood. Actually it’s written in the homeowners association rules. Kinda nuts.
Last year, I put up minimal Christmas lights, and the load would blow the breaker (the outside outlet is on the same circuit as our bathroom). So when my wife uses the hairdryer, good-bye electricity. This weekend, I am going to install a new circuit just More >
