Cole nice job! Yesterday my husband and I decided to sit on our deck after working in the garden. We were exhausted. We started listening to the birds sing. We heard a familiar sound yet could not remember the name of the bird. The only time our phones were used was to look up a bird that was unfamiliar. We have now named our deck “the Audubon deck” and have a pair of binoculars ready. We could have spent the afternoon scrolling…but instead have found a new hobby. We also forgot that we were tired. 😊

Sounds like a day well spent. Enjoy the Audobon!

Thus it is that the greatest advice ever was summed up in three words thanks to a commercial ad campaign for a not-always admirable multinational corporation: JUST DO IT. (They also brought us another of life’s best mottos in five words:”There is no finish line.”)

Nice writing. Keep it up.

It’s annoying how so many of the simplest, overused, eye roll inducing slogans tend to be the best. Thanks for the read!
