Common Wisdom
Be kind to people and animals too. Laugh a lot. Just tell the truth. Approach love
and cooking with reckless abandon. Clean up your own mess. Wish upon a star.
Please your dentist and floss your teeth. Read a good book – or two (and read to
a child!). Good health is priority #1. Lend a hand. Give blood. Call your mom and
dad, or kids. Take the dog for long walks and smile at who you meet. Be a friend.
Don’t drink and drive. Let art color your life. Be gentle with the earth. Cut the
drama and don’t go to extremes. Never look back unless you are planning to go
there. Be thankful.
“One kind word can warm three winter months.”
- Japanese proverb
