I would like to know your thoughts on this.

Okay, so I'm working tonight and I tell jokes to engage my customers while I'm twisting balloons. Every now and then a customer will tell me a joke. This is the one a little girl told me. Why? Because he was looking for a short cut

Can you think of a silly, stupid, way to make some extra money? The only rule is no post and ghost. After you share your idea, comment on other people's ideas. I'll go first in the comments.

I am in the process of going from working from home to working out of an office. At the beginning of this year I made a commitment to treat my business seriously and not just as a hobby. So, in January 2026 I rented a one-room office in an executive office suites building. I am slowly transitioning from working at home to working out of the office. As I am moving things, I came across a journal from 2009. and I open the journal to a random page. I came across an entry where I was talking about making a commitment to my business. That was more than 16 years ago. I finally did it. The biggest lesson for me after reading that entry is that there is a huge difference between thinking about making a commitment and making a commitment. And that goes for everything. Thinking about something, and doing it are two different things. But the most interesting thing that caught my attention from that journal was a phrase I had written that made me put the journal down and start writing this post "Make your vocation, is your vacation." As the saying goes, if you're doing what you love to do, it ain't work. I Googled for the meaning of the word vocation. This is what it says: A strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation. FEELING OF SUITABILITY In other words, something you enjoy doing. If you enjoy what you're doing to earn an income, you don't feel the need to escape from it, or take a vacation. Doyou agree? If you could choose a vocation, what would it be?

This is something that I was introduced to almost 40 years ago. Then it was reintroduced to me during my Route 66 walk about 10 years ago. I invite you to ponder on, write about, journal, meditate, whatever you're comfortable with. Here is the prompt: Do you give because you have or do you have because you give?
