Making Today Better
In February 2020, I drove from Las Vegas to Huntington Beach CA to attend a bachelor party. Most people go the opposite direction for that purpose. Call me unconventional.
The Best Man was the organizer and he’s a bit on the wild side so I prepared mentally for risque circumstances.

In August, we hiked the Mt. Charleston Trail. We started as kids with teeth bearing smiles and unbridled excitement. We ended with pained expressions. We will be back to make the summit.
Not enough time in your day right?
The adage that time is money makes a lot of sense on the surface but actually it doesn’t hold much water. Here’s why. Money is infinite, time is not. Once consumed, time is forever gone. It can not be reproduced. In contrast, money once consumed, can be reproduced. Ask the Feds. They print trillions of dollars at the drop of a hat. Similarly once you spend, you can still go work and make money to replace what was spent.
Spending money can also be delayed and while it is not spent, it will still be there when you decide to spend it. Time doesn’t care if you don’t use it. It will be gone whether you use it or not.
| Time | Money |
| Limited | Unlimited |
| Not Reproducible | Reproducible |
| Spending it cannot be postponed | Spending can be postponed |
| Reveled by the Wealthy | Reveled by the Rich |
Make no mistake though! If you feel challenged or even frustration because you never seem to have enough time, you can still “create” time for yourself.

Fake snow in background in pic above is just us posing in front of a billboard for a photo op as temps are reaching the 80s. A planned three hour tour of Brianhead Utah turned into an unexpected but necessary overnight stay. On our way up from Vegas, we experienced a flat tire soon after helping a stranded motorist in 108 degree temp just south of St. George Utah. Ironic! We forgot Utah is closed Sundays. So no way to repair the flat, unwise to drive on a donut spare at 50 mph while cars rip by at 80 mph, thus the overnight stay.

Face it, you don’t have FU money. If you did, you’d have your own blog and you wouldn’t give a F*&% about anything! If this isn’t you, then accept my congratulations and go have a Mai Tai.
When you were a toddler, you didn’t worry about time, finances, or making an appointment. Life was fun. You ate tasty food and desert Mom prepared. Then you played more. At the end of the day, you bathed and went to bed, only to repeat it all over the next day. You knew good food, a good sleep, and play time could be expected. You lived abundantly and securely. Then somewhere along the way, you aged, took on responsibilities, made more money, had kids, maybe a divorce, and things changed in a blink of an eye. You found yourself living under constant duress.

It is also about continuing that process.
The word, Kozy, was derived from my Japanese name Kozen. If separated into parts, Ko means abundance and Zen means tranquility no different than what is sought for in Zen Buddhism. In fact the Chinese Kanji character is the same as that of Zen Buddhism.
Welcome to KozyKoz, an online experience that will leave you feeling Kozy and wanting more.
