It’s really true that without good health, we have nothing. Or almost nothing. We have our friends, families, and years of experience and wisdom. But it’s funny how relatively healthy people are walking around, doing what we do, and then bam! Like they say, you feel like you’ve been hit by a truck when you get unexpected news.
There’s a beauty that permeates our world. Those with a desire to explore, enjoy and revel in nature and culture have an un-matched passion. And that can take many forms. One is through the microbrand watch industry, providing an outlet for a generation of talented designers and change advocates.
There are more than seven billion human beings sharing our planet. Of course there are bound to be problems – conflicts, disease, suffering of all shapes and sizes. It’s just math, really, and the odds. While many of these “problems” are due to external, uncontrollable circumstances, many are of our own making.
We are inconsequential specs; tiny dots in the grand scheme of things. But there’s that saying, if you think you’re too small to make a difference, just think of a mosquito flying around your bedroom at night. Aside from all the quaint sayings, quotes and memes, our existence is truly remarkable.
For some of us, the holidays and bit of a break were a time of reflection. I think it’s valuable to take time, every so often, to pause, think, look back, look ahead, look inside.

And then, sometimes it’s better to just remain silent and smile.
We’ve been encouraged to “count our blessings” each and every day. I don’t think it’s a matter of counting them. They’re not currency. Unlike our medieval ancestors, who carried their life’s wealth around in a drawstring pouch, we carry ours deep inside. But like a financial institution, our blessings can bear interest, or at least fruit.
When did I ever need so many hands? I’m constantly asking myself that every time I pick up after the kids; clear out the dishwasher or take out the recycling. It’s at those times that I long for an extra hand, or the ability to balance something on my nose like a seal.
We don’t all have personal trainers or nutritionists. But we do have personal blenders. These “single-serve blenders” come in many shapes and sizes to suit all needs. They have also have become the fastest growing segment of the blender appliance category due to the popularity of healthy smoothies.
There are those who prefer to be “off the grid,” but most of us need access to power all the time. For outdoor adventurers and backyard enthusiasts, a compact, convenient source of power is a lifesaver. Today, it’s almost a necessity. Thankfully, Bluetti Power has come to the rescue with a lineup of amazing, portable power stations.
I’m with ya, Norm. My car is supposed to prevent the absent minded driver from locking his keys inside. Alas, it’s been some time since I read the manual and I’m not sure where I put it. There I was on a sunny November day watching the comings and goings at a local grocery store. I was leaning on my car because I locked myself out.
