Topic: The Big Ideas / #101. Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

“We don’t even have lions or other predators chasing us any more…”

I think someone living in Iraq or the Sudan may not feel the same way. Hell, someone in inner city America living below the poverty line would probably disagree, too.

But good point nonetheless. :) Isn’t it silly that we let a deadline for work build us up into the same state we experience when running for our lives?

Topic: The Big Ideas / #92. Make Your Bedroom Your Cave

That seems to be the consensus, but I can’t say I’m smitten with the idea. Then again, we have four kids. :) Relaxing in bed with a good book, or even the laptop when we have some work to do, works well for us, and gives us a modicum of space from the household hustle and bustle.

Plus, I’d add that declaring certain areas of the home “off-limits” to activities like reading etc. runs contrary to sustainability. Why not get maximum use out of each room??
