Do It Once

Kiss someone with your lips parted once, take someone's hand in yours and simply hold it, have no reason to tell someone you love them, let that tear fall, who cares if it's a commercial, savor a bite of something you eat often, why do you enjoy it? Laugh at yourself sometime, we all make mistakes. Ask someone 30 years older about when they were your age, Tell someone they look amazing, but mean it, Look in the mirror a second less, you can't change anything by looking, Try to solve one of life's greatest mysteries before going to sleep, Look someone in the eye when you tell them thank you, Tip your server, Experience brain freeze once before you die, Don't let your judgement be clouded by stories, find out the truth before deciding, Take a walk next time it rains, don't things just seem clearer? If someone gets angry with you, just let them be angry without giving them more reason to be, Don't be afraid to ask questions, you'll never know unless you ask, Smile whenever you don't want to, you might feel better. Try to do as much as you can before your time is over, Never regret anything, Try to always do opposite of what you would normally do, Meet people whenever you get the chance, you never know what gems you may find, Travel somewhere you have always wanted to go before you are unable, the experience will last a lifetime, Work less, Spend more time with your kids, Drive less, Live more, but not so much that you stop others from living, Play hard, but don't die trying, Save money, but don't forget to spend it, Send someone a card, just to tell them you're thinking of them, and snail mail it. Take care of yourself, and those around you, and cherish every minute of your life, Pray.
