You si and think of the major questions. Does anything I do mean anything? Will God decide to make me stay another year only to suffer through the grind?

Do these shoes make me look fat? I really need to know because I can't see them when they are on my feet.

Will God allow my car to keep running for another year? Will the neighbor leave me alone about cutting my grass? (The fascist cuts his every other day. When he isn't cutting it he is fertilizing it. It is no wonder it needs to be ct this much).

For anyone that is afraid of taking score of themselves, know that others are willing to do it for you. This is like picking your jury though, they may be easy on you, or you may not get along with them. My advice, do it yourself honestly.

Here are my personal observations:

I have tried to expand my experience to include more late morning alarms (the early morning ones are just too commonplace in my life). In this I have succeeded.

To do this I have tried hard to separate myself from physical and materialistic need (If I didn't the bank would have taken it anyway because I was fired for being late so much. BUT I am sticking to my goals admirably).

I spent as much time as I could with my kids, quality time.
I have found that no one will get mad at you as long as you are doing this. My wife actually envies my time with the kids (I don't think she has picked up that it is a perfect excuse for not going to look for a job).

I have helped many by volunteering. It looks good on a resume, or as an excuse for not looking for a real job. People see me around and call me a "mensch" which feels a lot better than "bum." So I must really be doing good and helping the community (everyone tells me I am).

I have become self employed. I spend time talking to friends to see if there are things I can do for them. Then we sit down and drink a beer (their's). Sometimes I can even find things to do that will fit into my schedule of volunteering and quality time with my kids.
