I Know Something Good About You

Wouldn’t this old world be better,

if the folks we meet would say;

I know something good about you,

and then treat us just that way!

Wouldn’t it be fine and dandy,

if each hand-clasped warm and true,

carried with it this assurance,

I know something good about you!

Wouldn’t things here be more pleasant

if the good that’s in us all,

were the only thing about us

that folks bothered to recall!

Wouldn’t life be lots more happy

if we’d praise the good we see,

for there’s such a lot of goodness

in the worst of you and me.

Wouldn’t it be nice to practice

this fine way of thinking too;

You know something good about me,

I know something good about you!

Finish Each Day and Be Done with It

Live With Intention

Live with intention.

Walk to the edge.

Listen hard.

Practice wellness.

Play with abandon.

Laugh.

Choose with no regret.

Continue to learn.

Appreciate your friends.

Do what you love.

Live as if this is all there is.
