Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.

If you're lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can.

Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.

Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
