Great podcast! So much to dissect. But since I do not have time, I'll take it for face value. Key points for me: Black t-shirts and shirts with logos. My wife likes my black to gray v-neck t-shirts. I still wear my concert shirts and since the holidays are right around the corner, I've started to wear my Charlie Brown long sleeved shirt. The FB discussion, once again, hit me, full-faced. As I reviewed my "friends and family" again, I'm at the right number for now. I do not interact with all of them daily, but they are in my circle of life. Finally, "Any excess disturbs the peace." Absolutely! Too much clothing. Too many shoes. Too many snow shovels. Too many plant holders (not used AGAIN). Excess hurts, both mentally and physically. Thanks again for another eye-opening podcast. Continued success!! PS Just catching up!
