how to stay young

1. try everything twice.
2. keep only cheerful friends. the grouches pull you down.
3. keep learning. never let the brain get idle. 'an idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
4. enjoy the simple things.
5. laugh often, long, and loud. laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. the tears happen. endure, grieve, and move on. the only person who is with us our entire life,  is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.
7. surround yourself with what you love. whether it's family, pets, music, plants, whatever. your home is your refuge.
8. cherish your health. if it is good, preserve it. if it is unstable, improve it. if it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. don't take guilt trips.
10. tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
11. forgive now those who made you cry. you might not get a second chance.

yes please

New Year's!

so the new year is almost here!
i am excited to see what 2011 brings me.
2010 was definitely interesting.
a whirlwind.
the Tiger only showed me change, change, change.
well, the chinese new year isn't until february so i guess the tiger will still be around a bit longer.
but to celebrate this incoming new year, i will be dancing all night long!
it's been since April (coachella) that i have been to a music fest.
now it is time for TAO.
i am not even sure that i am ready for it.
it is going to be huge.
but things will go wonderfully because i will be celebrating with My Love.
i can't wait to bring in the new year with him :D

love this

thank you
