Unexpectedly and loud, money wise or emotionally, bang bang went its little fists?

    Like once a dang week, solicitors come out and knock asking for the owner of the place I currently rent and try to sell me some service.

      You should get a No Solicitors sign. I’ve been thinking about getting one as well but thankfully I don’t get them as often as you.

    Friend I’d fallen out of touch with reached out to ask where i was and if she could come visit me in Panama.

    I wasn’t sure about how close we still were or what she wanted, but i said yes and it ended up being a very nice week-long visit.

    I prefer solo traveling, so this was a great if potentially uncomfortable opportunity to be social and play the tour guide.

    it felt good.

    I have a very healthy respect for opportunity.

    Year and a half ago I got laid off from work and rather than finding a new job I took the opportunity and started my own business instead. Haven’t looked back.

    If you’re waiting for a knock, you’ve already lost the thread.

    Opportunities are actually abundant. The problem, as I see it, is a lack of time, money, motivation, and energy, to seize almost all of them. Plus, not all such ideas and openings are on the level - some are just plain illegal. Also, I’m unwilling to completely upend my life just to run a business, take on huge risks at the peril of poverty, or risk prison to make a buck.

    Edit: Also, ethics. There’s a lot of unethical opportunities out there.
