“Should”—the enemy of joy. Thanks for reminding me to not let it push me away from what makes life meaningful.

100%! A constant battle for our true priorities.

Thanks for sharing your blog. I arrived here via a recommendation from Scott at “Playing with FIRE”. Regards from a very grey UK!

Howdy Neil, welcome and thanks for stopping by! Cheers back at you from a cold-but-bluebird day in Oregon.

Thank you for your timely post about letting go. I am traveling full-time and maintaining three different journals - 2 paper and 1 digital. It was feeling redundant and your post inspired me to ask what I was journaling, why and what I could do differently. Now I have a more efficient and clear daily routine…thanks to you! I also anticipate this will flow over into other areas of my life, too.

Glad to hear that, Kathy! Nice to drop that kind of redundancy, especially when you're traveling full-time. (Where are you, btw? I hope somewhere warm!)
