drip drip drip of our days. Usually this would be written as a criticism so it's nice to see it held up as a good thing.

Thank you Baird, for this reminder to pay attention on today.

I view planning like the weather forecast. I may have a handle on what I'm going to do tomorrow but anything more than five days out, is at best an unreliable guess, hope or fear.

The only things I am certain of are the core values I aspire to. They will never change.

Cheers

Gary

Thanks Gary. The analogy of predicting the weather is a good one. Forecasts more than 3-5 days out are a about as good as a coin toss!

I love how you framed this—balancing the long-term vision with the reality that each day is its own full-time job. Life gives us these manageable daily doses, and instead of being overwhelmed by the bigger picture, we get to pour our energy into shaping each day with purpose. Happy Friday eve Baird.
