Thirty-fve years ago none of the 12 people would have have remained dry.

If simple pleasures bring enormous gratitude, why don’t we do more of them?
Take pictures.
Go for a walk.
Enjoy the solitude of nature just before sunrise.

Right?

All humans are born entrepreneurs. And this has been so all the way back to the beginning when we lived in caves.

It’s reserved for anyone wanting to upgrade their cave.
