New Year Thoughts V

Wear flip-flops, support locally owned restaurants, get wet in warm summer rain, take alternate routes, promote, participate and attend neighborhood athletics, chew intellectual cud, run a car out of gas on purpose, read by miniature Christmas lights, eat with your neighbors outside, make the mundane entertaining, hope everything happens the way it does, read every book that won the Hugo Award, turn a few options into numerous possibilities, enjoy possibilities of what could be, begin at a goal and prepare backward, slow down, make routine trips adventures, simplify and minimize, forget what you give, value what you get, return what you borrow, replace what you break, own more of what lasts longer and less of what doesn’t, give anonymously and forgive quickly.

 

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

 

William Blake
