Eat, drink and be merry! And exercise, for example, run in a meadow. Read a good book every day. Have an obedient, intelligent dog or two. Make art. Find a good partner. Have a child or two (or four). Have a large comfortable kitchen table. Have great conversations. Have good arguments. Knit. Laugh a lot. Cry whenever you need to. Imbibe music. Talk to your family. Listen to them too. Have a couple of elegant cats agree to live in your house. Travel. Swim in the ocean in summer. Have a wood-stove for the winter. Listen to the birds in the forest. Sing! Be open to change. Teach children Art. Teach some others English. Do something good for those less fortunate than yourself. Love your children, your spouse, your parents, your friends. Learn another language. Be compassionate. Be outraged! Even though terrible things happen and your soul suffers with the combined sum of such things as the years accumulate, look forward to, and enjoy, something small (or big) every day. Do away with pettiness. Do one (at least) kind thing every day. Live passionately. You only have one life, and it's far too short.
