The dictionary word today was “sachet.” It’s definition in the dictionary I was using was, “a small perfumed bag, (packet of) dry perfume for laying among cloths etc; packet for small quantity of perfume etc.”
As imagined as soon as I saw that I thought “I am right into that – NOT.”  But anyway that was the word.
The Cambridge dictionary was closer to my understanding of a sachet. “a small closed container made of paper or plastic, containing a small amount of something, usually enough for only one occasion:”
It actually reminded me of something someone I know told me.  They do lots of boat trips.  On one, the border people checked all bags upon leaving the ship.  They could not believe the number of people taking heaps of stuff from off the boat.
I, like most people, do see them when ordering food or drink.  Often there is a sachet of sugar or salt or something appropriate to add to meal or drink.  The other time I see sachets is when we stay at some joint on holidays.  Often there is a sachet of soap and shampoo in the bathroom – along with coffee and tea in the kitchen area.
I have seen sachet’s among stored sheets.  It gives them a nice smell,rather than a musty smell (or as on site said about sachets “a pleasant scent”.)
Sachets can really contain anything.  They are often made up by people as a give away item promoting whatever cause is being promoted.  These can be sample bags as well.
I did learn other things about sachet’s as well.  For example, in Polish it is written “torebeczka, saszetka” (sachets of sugar and coffee powder) while in Spanish a sachet of sugar is “un sobre de azúcar”
Alright for both of them I need to take their word for it.  But if ever I was in Poland or Spain at a coffee shop it could be useful.  Or grabbing them myself could be useful to (if culturally appropriate) and save me some embarrassment.
Ok this word has been difficult to write about in an interesting way.  But although I may not be into them personally I really am glad to use them.

I really had no idea what I wanted to be.  I heard someone recently say how initially proud they were of their son when they said at a very young age they wanted to something like a doctor.  Then they said, “or a dinosaur.”
Ok I never dreamed of being a dinosaur, but I do remember saying I wanted to be either a teacher or an astronaut.
Yet I had a mate who said right through they wanted to be a pilot.  A pilot is what they became.  It required study and mastery of the subject matter, and then going through the appropriate channels to be what they wanted to be.  There was a slight change in that they became a passenger pilot rather than their first choice as a fighter pilot. It was their eyes that disqualified them from becoming a fighter pilot.  Their eyes were good but did not meet the very high expectation of fighter pilots.
I had no idea what I wanted.  I know I was not alone.   Three of us at my school chose to do ancient history instead of maths.  Yet all three of us ended up in finance where we needed maths all the time.
I have no regrets as to what I did with my life.   The places I have worked and the people I have met I reckon was perfect for my character.
Well when I say no regrets I can think of one.  It was the time I feel I wasted just drifting rather than pursuing a goal.  I feel there were a number of years I could have spent better, but to me life is not about looking back but looking forward.
They say there is only such a thing as a mistake if I do not learn from an experience.  Maybe it took longer than I would have liked, but for sure I learned the importance of avoiding drifting. 
It’s funny but I see treading water as something I have done when the tide was going out.  I may be treading water but because the tide was going out I was getting further from my goal.
But here I am as they say “full of years.” (well maybe not many put it that way.)  I do think it is like a mate of mine said, totally unexpectedly, “I do know that the years ahead are less than the years that have gone by.”
To me it is what I do with what I have left that counts.  The past is past.  I cannot change it.  But I can change my future and be thankful for much.  With God’s help I will end well.

Normally I am quick to quote from the James Clear email when I get it. This time has been different though. I got the email last Friday and I looked at it Sunday. I love the things said - as far as they go. For example (and I quote several of the quotes from the last email) “"Compete externally and you compare. Compete internally and you improve."
"The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty."
"The more you create, the more powerful you become. The more you consume, the more powerful others become."
Writer G. K. Chesterton reminds us to not be carried along by life, but to live with energy, will, and conviction: "A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it." Source: The Everlasting Man
I reckon all those quotes are good but the one that speaks volumes to me today is, "The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty."
The thing I find about life is it is so messy. Quotes like the above are true and meaningful but powerless to change my life. They describe the problem for sure and suggest a way out, but when the rubber meets the road and the situation is perhaps even life and death it is not these sorts of quotes I remember and hold on to.
It is others said by a person who's word I have found constantly reliable, that comes to mind when I need it.
I must confess I find it is the involvement of people that tends to make things messy (and I regard myself as a “people”). The word uncertainty is mentioned. For me, although the outcome is certain, the path is to this point untrodden and uncertain.
So while I hold to quotes like the above, I find they are great - though not in a “go to in troubled times” way. They inspire but help is found elsewhere.
