The town that I am a part of is not among the largest of cities but when I compare it to where I grew up it is a big town. I had always wondered what living in the city would feel like. What I have learn is that the larger the city the smaller you feel.

Fate as I know it, has a great and often cruel sense of humor. Like many of you I have spent some time being the brunt end of the joke. Laughing to hide tears or pretending that I meant for that something to happen.

So now that you have an idea what do you do with it? No matter if your idea is about how to save money for your dream car, or how to fit more in your hallway closet your idea has value. Some ideas can be utilized as is and in the moment. Others require a second thought and maybe a little preplanning. Either way value it, it’s your idea.
