I recorded in "The Small Plates of Mary Ann", this list of "Grandmother's Advice For the Future" which I wrote several years ago:
~compliment 3 people everyday
~remember other people's birthdays
~plant flowers every spring
~be the first to say hello
~keep secrets
~take lots of pictures
~keep a daily journal
~write a yearly history
~ride a bike...often
~walk at least 3 miles everyday
~don't mess with drugs and don't associate with those who do
~choose your life's mate carefully, from this one decision will come 90% of all your
happiness or misery~use credit cards only for convenience, never for credit
~buy whatever kids are selling in their front yards
~surprise loved ones with little unexpected gifts
~remember that ALL news is biased
~there is no reality-only perception
~resist the temptation to buy a boat
~have crooked teeth straightened
~just worry about YOU!
~remember that THE CHOICES YOU MAKE TODAY DETERMINE THE LIFE YOU LIVE TOMORROW
~even if you're financially able, have your children earn and pay for all their auto insurance
~never deprive someone of hope
~don't be party to earthlifebullshit
~be one who isn't easily offended
~pray for your enemies
