My Always Empty Bucket List
As we slid down the steep, narrow streets of Funchal on the island of Madeira in a wicker basket, I thought for a moment about my bucket list.

Oddly enough, it sometimes takes all of these symptoms working in unison to get me to recognize that I need to stop. It’s time! I have to put away my computer AND my cell phone. Turn off that latest course and shut down my ongoing Sudoku game.
Overcoming Overwhelm
Today is a day when I feel like things are out of control.
