BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

I am retired now, but, for years, I was responsible for stuff, in charge of stuff, and had to stay on top of stuff.

There's a lot of 'stuff' in life, isn't there?

While doing all that stuff with stuff has purpose, I wonder if sometimes we don't lose sight of some important stuff in our lives because we are 'staying on top of stuff'. Up there, on top, that is, it can become hard to see some of the seemingly less important stuff, such as fun, laughter, playing with kids, showing somebody you love them.

Yeah. Maybe sometimes all that 'stuff' we think we're on top of is really in our way...blocking our view.

So, look around at all the stuff you think you have to deal with and concentrate on the stuff that really matters.

Don Quixote On His Deeathbed

"The notary was present, and he said that he'd never read in any book of chivalry that a knight errant had died in his bed so calmly, and in such a Christian way as don Quixote, who, amidst pity and tears of those surrounding him, gave up the ghost; that is, he died."
