MOLESKINE:

We live in a world that is more and more automated. AI can help with all sorts of menial tasks at work… but what if the menial is good for us?

There’s something about working with your hands and enjoying the fruit of your labor that is so satisfying. My day job is a lot of manual labor (lifting boxes, printing, shipping, trimming posters, typing, etc.). I like seeing a clear desk at the end of the day, knowing that my work is complete.

Reflect on the satisfaction you get from finishing a physical task, whether it be a workout, yard work, your day job, etc. Give thanks to God for the health & ability to complete the task for today. It is a gift.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3rdf community cleanup opportunities coming to the AO soon!

COT:

Nameorama, Countorama, named our FNG (welcome @Hooters!), FloJoe + ADG merch shared. Enjoy!

It was a pleasure leading y’all this morning.
