This is one of my team’s listings in Mukilteo. Not far off of 52nd Ave W/Beverly Park Rd, this is just a little south of the Speedway. Part of a very well maintained community with nicely manicured lawns and friendly neighbors, who you’ll actually see out walking. If you work at the Everett Boeing facility, or the surrounding support community at Paine Field, this is a very livable community with only a few minutes of commute. Biking would be quite easy! If you work in Redmond, say at Microsoft, this is easy jaunt onto Highway 525, feeding you easily on to 405. And if you commute to Seattle, it’s a short drive to the Mukilteo Sounder Station or the Ash Way Park & Ride. With a recent price drop, it’s quite competitively priced for the neighborhood. Take a look while it’s still available.

Clouds delight me so
Tranquility flowing forth
Dew drops glistening

Sunlight

Sunlight upon skin
Driving me to the outdoors
Promise of motion

Grey clouds against me
Calming my mind and soul
Strange tranquility

Lost to Busyness

Carl Setzer

Losing myself in busyness is much too easy. Over the years, I’ve developed expertise in productivity and maximising work. I get so very much done, do meant todos checked off, but then feel like I’ve done nothing at all. This brings about a sense of emptiness. Losing sight of my “why” is the root. When my tasks are simply the responses to stimulus, not connected to adding value, I fall into this funk. For there’s no value. Remembering why we want, what the things are that we value counters that. Hence, why that planning and thinking time is so critical. Sadly, it’s so easy to get caught up in the cult of busy and devalue planning. And we end up miserable and morose. So, more planning and thoughtfulness in my life. There!
