Nice take on it @Shannon Boyer - looking forward to seeing what happens next year.

@Danielle Wright playing devils advocate everyone says they hate adds but their behaviour shows something billions of dollars different… why did classifieds and other ads ever start and keep going? Because sure it’s helpful for a plumber to find new customers by advertising but if you need a plumber, a job, a new home, a great community etc seeing an ad is a godsend! That’s why I love ads - and why so many online businesses use them. @Shannon Boyer

@Shannon Boyer thanks!

@Kathy Roberts glad it was useful - Rachel really knows her stuff. Beware though she has lots of imitators on TikTok. This is her account: https://www.tiktok.com/@digitalroadtoriches?_r=1&_t=ZS-92BwdTJX7FF

@Melissa Boster well done!

@Shannon Boyer Yeah - you're right - I think people's concepts of "work" vary widely! When I was on holidays in the Maldives I was talking to some of the locals and they thought all the tourists were MAD - because they worked hard to get money and then spent their money going to the Maldives for a week or two before they went home to work again ... the islanders were like if I want a drink the coconut tree gives me a drink and a snack, if I want fish I just go to the sea and get what I want etc... they expect something for nothing all the time ... oxygen, sunshine, water, a cool breeze, food, a swim - play is a big part of their day - they spend time with their family and live so relaxed they don't need to spend thousands on expensive vacations. Still they were saying the younger generations are starting to leave because they see things on social media they want to buy. I think sometimes we forget that we are given so much for nothing and it doesn't hurt to meditate on that every now and again and believe that lots of things can come easily to us without any work and can actually feel like play or even a miracle! On the other extreme if you stop and meditate on all the work required just to give you breakfast each morning - a chicken farmer who feed the chickens and collected the eggs and cleaned them and the cardboard manufacturer who made the carton he packs them into and the printer who puts the logo on the cartons, and the truck driver who transported them to the warehouse that distributed it to the supermarket worker who put them on the shelf to the chekcout chick who charged you at the cash register, to the person who mined the metals and the designed and manufacturer who made your cutlery and .... there's so much work but it's all made easy for us to take for granted. I really like the advice to "work hard at what you find easy" - I think that's a nice balance.

@Shannon Boyer yeah, "enough" is another one of those concepts that vary widely ;-)

@Shannon Boyer @Lauren Kinghorn I also moved around a lot in my childhood and love most changes. I really surprise myself when something changes and I don't like it!
