It’s like his snoring got so bad that his wife left him and now he’s just alone with his extra-strength Breathe Right strips.

Red sky at night, sailors delight, red sky at morning, sailors take warning. I can still remember my granddad teaching me that in the early parts of mornings on the beach of Shell Island.

“Peace can exist only in the present moment. It is ridiculous to say “wait until I finish this, then I will be free to live in peace.” What is “this”? A diploma, a job, a house, the payment of debt? If you think that way, peace will never come. There is always another “this” that will follow the present one. If you are not living in peace at this moment, you will never be able to. If you truly want to be at peace, you must be at peace right now. Otherwise, there is only “the hope of peace some day.”
