The Wordsmith learns to lifesmith and shares a few thoughts about life and living (in random order):

- Are you living the life you truly want? Why not?
- If you don’t already know what drives, jives and lifts you up, it’s time to drop everything else and find out.
- Forget what they say. You DO have a choice.
- Above all else, there is love.
- Get over it and move on.
- If work does not make you happy nor bring a smile to our face anymore, move on.
- The universe is energy. Surround yourself with the positive type.
- Live to work because you love your work. Don’t work to live.
- Exercise. Seriously. Do it. No kidding. You’ll find out why.
- Be kind to animals and the elderly. Humanity is judged by the way old people and animals are treated.
- Nobody is indispensable. Accept that and you’ll be much happier.
- Breathe deep.
- Walk barefoot along the beach or on your lawn. It’s one way of detoxifying yourself.
- Take care of your knees. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.
- Accept that some things, no matter how well you plan them, will fall apart.
- Do something different all the time.
- Go against the flow. The flow ain’t that fantastic anyway.
- Pray.
- Remember that the earth is a speck in the universe. You’re even smaller.
- Remember also that the universe is made up of the smallest atoms and you can make a difference.
- Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. There IS such a thing as karma.

Hi Cynthia,
Sure can learn one thing or two from you. I must have forgotten that the Universe is Energy, I should be conscious of surrounding myself with positive ones. Your positive energy from this blog is one great example. Cheers, Justin (Your father’s bowling friend)
You have a great philosophy of life. I maybe older than you are, but guess not any wiser,

Hi there!
Long time no see. Life should be positive. If it’s a bad day, we can still make it a good bad day.
