We grew up in a church that was thriving and an awesome community.

It’s two totally different property types.I think without the many short term rentals on Anna Maria, the thriving businesses and restaurants there would be in trouble.

I always notice what plants look like they are thriving despite any evidence of care.  

That is the best place to start and there is certainly a thriving REI community up there.

I guess the brighter side of this is I can be a sponge, a blank slate and pick up advice and skills necessary to THRIVE.

I use Thrive Insurance in OKC.  

I project manage now, which isn't necessarily easier or better, it's just more efficient with my time as I have other businesses that generate revenue, including new construction/custom remodels and a thriving real estate agency business.Contractors have always been the biggest challenge for me in the business. 

I thrive on lists and that sort of organization.Any ideas or suggestions?

You are talking about their ability to thrive in their retirement years. 

You all struggle together and thrive together.
