Get up 15 minutes earlier. Prepare for the morning the night before. Don't rely on your memory...write things down. Repair things that don't work properly. MAKE DUPLICATE KEYS. SAY "NO" MORE OFTEN. Set priorities in your life. Avoid negative people. Always make copies of important papers. ASK FOR HELP WITH JOBS YOU DISLIKE. Break large tasks into bite-sized portions. Look at problems as challenges. Smile more. Be prepared for rain. SCHEDULE A PLAY TIME INTO EVERY DAY. Avoid tight fitting clothes. Take a bubble bath. BELIEVE IN YOU. Visualize yourself winning. Develop a sense of humor. Stop thinking tomorrow will be a better day. Have goals for yourself. SAY HELLO TO A STRANGER. Look up at the stars. Practice breathing slowly. DO BRAND NEW THINGS. Stop a bad habit. Take stock of your achievements. DO IT TODAY. Strive for excellence, NOT perfection. LOOK AT A WORK OF ART. Maintain your weight. Plant a tree. Stand up and stretch. Always have a plan B. Learn a new doodle. Learn your own needs. BECOME A BETTER LISTENER. Know your limitations and let others know them too. Throw a paper airplane. Exercise every day. Get to work early. Clean out one closet. Take a different route to work. Leave work early (with permission). REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS HAVE OPTIONS. Quit trying to fix other people. Get enough sleep. PRAISE OTHER PEOPLE. Relax, take each day at a time...YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO LIVE.
This is something I needed to read today. Maybe it will help you, too.
This is awesome!
How do you come up with this stuff?
So I'm guessing you're back from Haiti. When's a good day to possibly come by and see you, maybe grab some lunch?

Well, I got a closet cleaned out today. I'm sending you some of the stuff I don't want in there any more. Love you, Mom

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.
