Think a little less and live a little more
1. Parent
Pay attention. Help. Teach.
2. Husband
Be kind. Be there. Be a good friend.
3. Health
Be fit. Be of a good mind. Be mindful
of the food and the animals. Be in nature.
4. Work
Be on time. Be reliable. Be focused. Be respectful.
Be open to opportunity.
5. Spirituality
Make all of the above work in harmony.
Be grateful for everything.
