Friday Morning FYI – 3/13/2015

Ron Delaney JrLeave a comment

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI, my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is inspired by good old positive thinking:

We all get upset, and angry, and sad. What you do then and how you get out of it is what matters. Hanging on to bad feelings is like clutching a red hot fork. The fork doesn’t care about your hand. All you’re doing is burning and scaring yourself. Let. It. Go.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI, my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is inspired by a family member who put up a good fight, and is now in a better place (the best, actually):

Do not scoff when you hear “Life is precious” or “Life is short” or “Make every moment count” or “Seize the day” or any other phrase that reminds you your time on earth is limited. Because it is. Make the most of it.

Apple Picking – Another Thing I love About Autumn

Ron Delaney JrLeave a comment

I make no apologies for being a cold-weather person. When I tell friends and co-workers that I love winter and can’t wait for snow, they universally gasp in horror. I can’t say that I blame them, we’ve had a few rough years here in NJ (and all of the north east), so everyone is a bit shell-shocked. Once I mention that my first love is Autumn, though, I always get nods and smiles.

Over at FIX.com, there’s a great write-up on one of my favorite things: Apple Picking (I love it so much, I capitalized it. Don’t hate.) There are some nice history and cool info graphics to help everyone finish up the season (already over in most places, I know), and get ready for next year. Check it out.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI! My chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is leading-a-better-life type stuff:

When someone asks you how you’re doing, answer with “Awesome”, “Excellent”, or “Great”. Leave the “OKs” to everyone else.

 

Thanks for reading.
