To Do

Lest we forget what's the most important thing--living life to the fullest. Be happy for the simple fact that you are alive. Look around, there is so much to be grateful for! Never pass up an opportunity to smile. Always look for someone in the shadows. Be the person you always wanted to be. Learn a new talent. Embrace the unexpected. Invest in knowledge. Believe in something. Do something really, really hard. Reward yourself. Deep clean everything--and dance while you do it. Roll down the windows and sing in the rain. Run up a mountain. Stop and smell the roses. Trust in your ability to overcome. Take pictures. Drink hot chocolate. Have a favorite book. Eat what you want. Compliment yourself. Dream an impossible dream. Work to make that dream come true. Make a mess without thinking about cleaning it up. Trust your instinct. Love your family. When life gets hard, laugh harder. Appreciate beauty. Always keep peanut butter on hand. Swing on a swing for a very long time. Build forts around the TV. Keep a journal. Jump in puddles till you're soaked toe to head. Learn about your heritage. Surround yourself with fond memories. Remember funny things said in daily conversation.  Have a plant--try to keep it alive. Check the mail. Write notes of encouragement. Delight in a salad. Carry a water bottle everywhere. Name your car and speak to it fondly. Go out of your way to step on a crunchy leaf. Leave your shoes at home. Do what you love. Live for right now.

"Trust God and believe in good things to come."
