With more ideas to share since posting “Hints From Grandpa Ned” two years ago, I’m still big on repurposing to “save the Earth” and money. [Worth repeating, as I’m still using] “… an old toothbrush to sweep lint off the dryer screen. Also good for sweeping bugs into a bottle.”
Repurpose a mug to hold a water bottle upright by your bed; use another to hold toothbrushes in the bathroom.
Delay gratification by saving ice cream to enjoy with a friend on his or her schedule; (delay “activates the prefrontal cortex, building stronger … decision-making skills.”)
Keep a few healthy snacks and books by your bed for convenience — morning, siesta, and night. (Reminder: this blog is not about food.)
[Worth repeating:] “Slow down sometimes, read a good book, and know that God loves and guides His children.”
Be kind, keep the faith, and be prepared.
