Comment on Rio Olympics Opening Ceremony by Vicki@Make Smarter Decisions.
We’re all about swimming too! (I coached with Ryan Lochte’s mom when he was 5!) The opening ceremonies were awesome. Such diversity and such a cultural presentation last night – loved it. I saw the athlete crying too – such a moving moment. Loved the speech about how for two weeks we can be “one world” and that the Olympics celebrate diversity. Watching right now too 🙂

Video of the Week: New Swimming Record?
Love 😉 As a former swimmer and swim parent – swimmers know how to make the best of situations!
Are You a Consumer or a Producer?
Interesting point. I think we are right in the middle right now – because of where are kids are. Being 18 and almost 21 – they still have a lot of needs because of transitions to college and apartments. They are using a lot of our things, but we still purchased quite a bit. I guess the things we bought were more needs than anything else though! Moving toward producers in time though!
The Best Retirement Plans Include Flexibility
I “early retired” in May and I’m back to work full-time now, so we definitely have adjusted. This is a temporary job and because I still have one in high school (senior) we can’t travel yet. I took this job because I enjoy the work and we will pay down a rental property to increase cash flow. Win-win for the moment!
Half Marathon Training Begins Today
Congrats on your plan to get back in to running! I’ve run two marathons and a few half-marathons. I had hip surgery a couple years ago and I’m hesitant to try it again. Nothing worse than your hip keeping you up all night long… You are right to listen to your body and rest too. It can get a bit addicting as you get back in shape. It will be fun to watch your progress!
Make the Most of Your First 100 Days
I think you’ve set some great goals. I totally get the swim parenting – (and I was a swimmer too!) I’m not sure I could manage four posts a week at all. I have to work hard to get two done. I do the same thing you do in terms of writing though – I have a bunch of ideas, but I find it really hard to write more than one post at a time. Good luck and look forward to your progress!
