Me and my younger brother and sister started a tradition in 2025 to go on a sibling trip once a year. We each picked 4 locations and my sister draws one from a jar every year as our way of “choosing” where we will go. Last year, the first year we started doing this, Greece was the pick. Really nice country and among my favorite places I’ve traveled. My mom had died a year prior and we decided to bring some of her ashes on our sibling trip each year to spread them all over the world. It’s something we all feel good about doing and a cool sub-tradition to our sibling trip. TSA never quite knows how react when they pull out a little mason jar of ashes lmao but they’re always touched when we tell them the story and they test it and realize it’s not drugs. Pictured: Skiathos on the Aegean sea, an s-tier resting place for my mom.

RIP mom. You are missed.

Like symphonic music to my ears. The suits are doing some good after all.

Just need to install a new exterior outlet and light fixture and she’s done.

Everyone wants to be successful after a year or two but it’s typically not until years 8-10 until your abilities and understandings crystallize into master level. Experiencing all failure modes and the time needed to trial and error better modules can’t really be skipped or faked. This goes for almost everything, not just trades or professions. Imho
