🎧 A note for Jeffersontown readers (hear it)

“There is a fine line between gratefulness and complacency. One brings peace. The other slowly convinces you to settle.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Comfort in Jeffersontown is easy to keep and easy to notice too late.
You can't point to a crisis — just a long stretch of fine that's starting to feel like a ceiling.
