Someone in my f-list posted something second-hand that said, “Discipline is not punitive”. I think it’s a great point – making decisions for yourself and finding the willpower to stick to them, despite the impulse to do otherwise, is a matter of loving yourself.

It’s a matter of respecting your own wisdom.

Unrelatedly (I think), I so respect this guy. It’s the “steampunk keyboard/lcd” guy, and he took an older diesel bus and completely renovated it with recycled materials into an amazing masterpiece of an RV. I particularly love the dual angle oil lamp. I went through every page of his RV rebuild, and I have to say that it’s the only time in recent memory I’ve wished I had a house with a garage and tools.

I’d love to build and create like that.

If I get around to it, I’ll post photos of my weekend, later. It was very full, yet relaxed and pleasurable. :)

  1. That’s awesome!

    And as soon as I saw “small college in the midwest” I just KNEW he had to be a Beloit alum. Beloit alums rock! (Biased? Oh, no, not me!)

  2. I’ve been wanting to take some pics of Amy and I, and turn them into a tintype pics. Perhaps I should look into etching the pics into metal instead.

  3. Did you see this yet?
