Greetings, from Another Place!

My latest Hold That Thought newsletter was two weeks ago, because I was busy moving (from #Manchester to #Liverpool).

The links were good ones and I don't want you to miss out! So here you go. Inside you'll find:

- How to stop thinking terrible things about yourself
- Why you overexplain things
- Simple Wikipedia
- Creepy beach statues (and more)

Like most people, I don't make a big deal about new year's #resolutions, but I always have some, at least in my mind. Typically, they are lose weight, get in shape, maybe climb a mountain, write something big, etc.

I'm not saying I don't/won't have any of those resolutions (read: vague hopes) but I'm thinking of one resolution: to begin #simplifying my life—reducing the number of things I have, saying "no" more often, controlling my buying-things-cravings, etc.

I think this is fundamental.

Death of Karl Forster, #German #Plant #Breeder
At 18, he took over his family's Berlin nursery, which was a mess. Karl #Streamlined the #Business by #Simplifying his #Plant inventory. He was especially
drawn to #Tough, #LowMaintenance, #Hardy #Perennials. Karl used 3 factors to determine whether a plant would be sold in his #Nursery: #Beauty, #Resilience, & #Endurance.
Karl once wrote,
"A #Garden without #Phlox is not only a sheer mistake but a #Sin against #Summer."
