Better Late Than Never

New Year’s Resolutions. Buy local. Smile. Stand in the sun. Wear sunscreen. Walk in someone else’s slippers, then be happy when you find your own again. Listen. Judge no-one. Protect your own. Eat broccoli. Gobble ice cream. Laugh. Help your neighbors. Plant a lilac bush. Smile. Be excellent to your friends. Pick your family. Pray for all. Ask why. Embrace the inner hobbit. Smile. Learn. Play. Accept. Be. Hear live music. Appreciate your partner. Turn off the TV. Jump rope. Smile.

Just Finished: Mark Perry's Grant & Twain, An American Friendship. Highly recommended. A short, detailed portrait of the friendship and life correlations between Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant. Humble and uplifting. Interesting read for writers. Grant is my new hero.
