In 50 years, I'll be dead; statistically, 2 out of 3 of us will be. Thoughts about culture, education, and caregiving clicked off like a circuit breaker. Before that happens - to either of us - read this.

Makes sense. Is there a chart that summarizes each theory?
I've been learning about making decisions based on "first principles."
Where might that process fit on the chart?

That's where I learned of it! Well, not by going to Japan, but reading of it.
I realized I can turn my urban backyard into such and already have a good start.
But now I mow with purpose rather than dread. 😍

What an interesting topic. Especially in light of the modern generalized lack of IRL community.
Lack of *healthy* community, I should clarify.
(Although, 🤔 is there such a thing? You have me pondering...)

I feel this.
I feel like this.
I live this.
I live this way.
I love this.
I love this life of limits.
Hidden, yet seen.

What happened to spreading love and kindness even in the face of injustice?
Leslie Vernick's book I referenced in your other post has very practical help. 💚

Value-based living 👍🏼
Although, we must remember some value doing. 😊

In a medical group, the doctor asked us, "From 1-3, how many feel today is a 2?"
Most agreed with sadness.
He said, "That's great!"
Huh?
He explained: most days of our lives are 2s. That's a good thing. Ones and threes pop in at times, but most days are meh. That's very normal and healthy.

And not to become unjust ourselves.
Leslie Vernick's book is helpful with this even far beyond family challenges:
The Emotionally Destructive Marriage

I enjoy pondering water. And this water is certainly worthy of pondering.

I can't help but hear the commercial in my head:
"But we have ants (aunts)."
"Expired. Expired! EXPIRED!"

The homes remind me of Rainbow Row in Charleston and Bergen, Norway.
So I'm curious ...
Where was the photo taken?
