"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

When A Plumber Gives A Priest Advice

"One night at a (AA) meeting, a man in our group said this was the only place where a plumber could teach a priest how to live. That intrigue me and brought me back to the next meeting, where a fellow gave the best advice I'd ever heard about living one day at a time.
"When you go to bed at night," he said, "kick your shoes so far back under the bed that you have to get down on your knees the next morning to get them. While you're down there, ask God to help you make it through the day. That night, thank him for what he did for you and kick your shoes way back under the bed again.""
