I got this a long time ago when it first came out. I have read it back and forth numerous times because it always makes me less anxious and helps me realize to appreciate life when sometimes I take it for granted.
My favorite rule from this book is in the "Simple Pleasures" section. Rule #37 says "Regardless of your age, occasionally stop at a public playground and ride on the swings." When you see a park and pass a swing set, why not take 5 minutes out of your day just to sit on a swing and pump those legs and fly (man - that's another things I could add to my little list of little things I forget to appreciate more often)! But this is book is just a great uplifting book of quotes and rules to live by to live wisely and choose well in your life!

ReplyDeletedid you know the author is from a bit north of west bend? she writes in the kewaskum paper as well. :)
