  Have any of you seen this motivational speech? When I first heard it I rolled my eyes and thought "okay Mom..." or "Got it Dad, thanks", but as the years go by I can't help but understand it more and more.
  
  The premise of the speech is that if you start each day accomplishing something, no matter how small, you can always end your day feeling accomplished - or at worst, falling asleep in a comfortable bed. The idea is that if you start your day making your bed, you can end your day in a made bed. You see? Sounds obvious, and maybe it sounds stupid, but as I've grown as a man I have come to realize that this analogy is perfect.
  
  I may not make my bed every day, and I would have struggled in the military, but Admiral McRaven does a great job of using his experience in a relatable way. It just... "makes sense" in my opinion.
  
  The speech also touches on the power of teamwork, a solid work ethic, persistence, and the power of doing things that make you feel good even if it's not "fun" or something you want to do.
  
  I definitely recommend watching this at some point:

  Personally I use Netflix the most & my fiance always loads up a mix of Peacock, Disney+, sometimes Vudu, and the occasional Amazon pick.

  I have lost weight in the past from riding my bike. I enjoy it because you have the option of cruising at times if you choose to, you can take on serious hills, and see a lot more than if you are walking or running. It was helpful for me to get in shape, but I know biking is not for everyone.
  
  Do you enjoy bicycle rides for exercise, and if not do you ride at all even just for fun?

  I am happy personally because I accurately paid my taxes and didn't owe anything. It has been a while since I have received anything substantial back due to payrolls often being extremely accurate for state & federal withholdings.
  
  What about you?
