Really try to find a job where it's fun to get up and get out the door, no matter what time.

To entertain at home is both a relief and a rediscovery - of rooms and settings, of your favorite things, and particularly of your own tastes and ideas.

I get up really early, and I go to bed really late. Sometimes I get tired, but it's not important. I have an exciting existence, and there's so much to do.

Then I change my way to accommodate the new way of planting trees.
