Thought of the day



Going to bed these days feels less like drifting off into dreamland and more like prepping a NASA space shuttle for launch. If even one system is off, the whole mission gets scrubbed. 
Forget the supplements? Scrubbed. 
Mouthguard not in? Scrubbed. 
Pillows misaligned, thermostat one degree too high, too much water after 7 p.m., or a stray sip of caffeine past 6? Expect an urgent 3:00 a.m. wake-up call from Mission Control, staring at the ceiling and doomscrolling for an hour before re-entry.

Meanwhile, Lucy requires zero pre-flight checklists to achieve total unconsciousness.
Earlier this week, her favorite comforter was in the wash, so when she spotted it freshly folded right on top of her best friend, Bear, she didn't miss a beat.
She just looked at the pile, said, "Challenge accepted," and claimed her throne.

I am thinking about starting a Star Trek-themed business. I am working on the marketing taglines, and here are a few ideas: 

  • Dentistry - Live Long and Floss More
  • Dry cleaner - Live Long and Launder 
  • Chiropractor - Live Long and Posture 
  • Cattle ranch - Live Long and Pasture 
  • Drywall - Live Long and Plaster

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

      My wife is like Lucy. She can seriously fall asleep in 10 seconds. Me, I'm more of a 5-min to 5-hour kind of person depending on which NASA steps I forgot.

    Way to go, sweet Lucy! Two of my parish family members are cattle ranchers, so I may share your Star Treck marketing tagline with them. Peace, my friend!
