When you leave the house, take a sketchbook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish everyone had a small sketchbook to carry around. Even the simplest drawings bring back memories that photos can’t capture. Twenty minutes of art a day, even scribbles, is good for our emotional and physical health. Scrolling on our phones is depressing us, but art in any form lifts us up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Path<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I call it \u201cthe path\u201d for lack of a better word. It\u2019s an undefined \u201csomething,\u201d call it the Tao or God or my Higher Power or \u201cGood Orderly Direction\u201d or simply my own mental clarity (I can see now that the inability to explain and define this mysterious \u201cpath\u201d may be part of the point – at least for me). Whatever it is, if I seek and are at least willing to align myself with it I find a deep sense of gratitude and serenity and inner peace that I wish everyone could have.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Walk a mile in their shoes…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compassion. You never know what someone else is going through, but chances are good they’re struggling with something. And whether it’s chronic pain, a failing marriage, money problems, fear for safety\/stability, or whatever, it informs how they think and behave (and vote). It’s all too easy to get angry or frustrated with “the other,” but there’s always something behind it. If everyone came from a default position of compassion, we’d all get along a lot better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Give ’em a Break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience working in the restaurant industry. It may not appear so, but it is a very tough job. My experience was in waitressing but while doing that job, I also witnessed the difficulties and challenges of the other roles around me. Dealing with the whims of the public is not for the faint of heart. I really try to make it easier for them when I’m dining out, because I know that unfortunately, they have another table that is rude and demanding. Please be kind!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Question everything<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability to question things they hear. “Eating this will increase your chances of getting ill by 25%.” Sounds bad\u2014wait, what was my original chance of getting ill? 1%? Oh, now it is 1.25%\u2014no big deal. Or was my original chance 50%? Oh, now it is 75%\u2014that’s a big deal. Always question what your read, hear, or see.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Powerful Medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep a sense of humor in my back pocket and try to pull it out every day. The business of growing old, making the garden grow, and keeping a relationship fresh after 50 years is more than a full-time job. It’s filled with daily trials, old habits, and daily opportunities for getting irritated. That approach seldom works. Applying humor as an antiseptic to my daily wounds gets me through every time. If I had any to spare, I would offer it to every frown and angry eye I encounter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Pet Blessings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish everyone had a pet. I did not understand or experience unconditional love until I had my first cat Marlon. When I rescued him, I was single and living in my first house alone. After rescuing him, I started to look forward to coming home because he was always happy to see me, no matter what kind of day I had. I could mess up in the worst way at work that day, but when I came home, there was this little sentient being that was grateful for my presence and loved me on my worst days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Games For Everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish that everyone could find a game they loved, time to play it and space to encourage them to play more games. Games help us relax. They help us think. They help us imagine. They help us plan. They help us come together. They help us be friendly. They help us compete. Games can help us cooperate and consider. Children learn boundaries and life skills from games, while adults remember that not everything is serious. Games can be played with boards, tokens, cards, dice, consoles, peripherals, words, looks and best of all with ideas and talking. Games are for everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
