In no particular order.
- At 43, I think I’m finally starting to get my shit together. Sometimes I wish that had happened a lot sooner, but I wouldn’t be who I am today if that were the case.
- Let go of regrets, annoyances, grudges, and general negativity. You don’t need that in your life. Deal with it at the moment, and move on.
- Say “I love you” to those you love. Constantly. Especially your spouse/significant other. Don’t let anyone ever wonder about your love for them.

- Time with your loved ones is far more important than some extra bucks on the paycheck.
- Travel. Whether far or near, it doesn’t matter. Just travel.
- Nurture your spirit. For me, this is about nurturing my relationship with God. For you, it may take a different form. However you do it, nurture your spirit. We are far more than mere flesh.
