Whatever Makes You Happy

smell the roses once in a while 
fall in love a couple of times 
live your life with generosity 
never lose your awe  
find your true North Star 
be as brave as the Lion 
paint, write, sing, 
do whatever makes you happy

Believe it or not, some people are thrilled just to be able to take a deep breath of fresh, clean air (Trump ensures people will become more grateful for that opportunity in the years to come). Aloha! Rico

There is a certain genius in simplicity. Well done my friend. It would have taken me five times as many lines to say the same thing. Have a great day my friend.

"fall in love a couple of time" made me laugh, as I have to force myself to do this every six years or so, so I can stay married.
