Time to refresh our understanding of the basic building blocks of adult life
- There is only so much you can do and you ought to do that much and if you do you’ll find there is more you can do so try that too.
- The way to get something done is to do it. The way to stop is to stop.When all is said and done, there is plenty to be done and that goes without saying.
- Don’t stick beans up your nose. Acts have consequences. Step on a crack and break your mother’s back. Life is too short for that and it’s getting shorter every day. On the other hand, don’t buy cheap shoes.
- Lighten up. It could be worse. Be grateful that it isn’t. I could compile a Worse list but you already know what’s on it. Granted, it is a challenge to live intimately with your best-informed critic but do your best.
- The cure for a horrible day is to go to bed early and start over in the morning. Long walks help, so I am told. When you are defeated, concede gracefully and go on to the next order of business. Your friends are fond of you but they have other things to do than deny reality in your behalf.
- Do what you need to do, go to Florida, and hire better lawyers. And go outside next Monday night and let the light shine into our skulls. Care for the children, save the planet, stop hallucinating and pay attention.
