You know Treks, many of us have wondered the same thing - what might it be in X years. None of us have a definitive answer. Sometimes, too often, we can get caught up in the future, trying to force our will to shape it (to suit our wants). What is missed is enjoying the great things we have NOW.

It is a common flaw frequently followed by failed businesses. You have your core, bread and butter clients. They keep the machine oiled by paying for the base costs associated with keeping the doors open. Then some bean counter w/an MBA decides that there is all of THAT which is not part of the client list. So a plan is devised to go after it. To finance the effort, corners are cut from the core client products. In the pursuit, they lose their bread and butter. Too often, after, the doors close. Game over.

Chasing the dollar one does not have often causes one to lose the dollar they already have. That is the saying. But it is not confined to money. It also applies to other things and other practices. The trade-off better be worth it or the doors close.

My advice is to top stressing. Enjoy those things and those people who enhance your hobby enjoyment. Stop fretting over those things and those people who do not. It's easier than we might think to stay away from trouble if we stop long enough to look before acting/reacting.

Before you know it, the people who gave you pleasure and offered sincere friendships are no longer among the living - gone from this earth. Eventually, if not sooner, it is you who is no longer around. Life is way too short and way too precious to waste on those things or those people who pull you down or suck you in to their game. Play your own game and have some fun, will ya?

I'm beat. I feel like a train wreck. I'm going to bed,
