All of us come across pithy or aphoristic sayings and notions about happiness and living a successful life, and I’m no different.  So with COVID our constant companion and with the expected pre-election rancor and divisiveness permeating society, I thought I might share a few thoughts about living a happy and productive life—by the numbers.

~ Six undeniable facts of life ~

1. Don’t educate your children to be rich, educate them to be happy so when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price
2. Eat your food as you medicine now, otherwise when you’re older you will eat you medicine as your food
3. The ones who really love you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason to hold on.
4. There’s a big difference between a human being and being human; only a few really understand that.
5. You are loved when you are born and you will be loved when you die, in between you have to manage.
6. If you want to walk fast, walk alone but if you want to walk far, walk together
