Avoid reading government advice sheets:
if you want a drink, have one.
Pay someone a compliment every day.
Touch someone else's bare skin,
whenever you can.
Live every day as if...
(that's it, as if).
Avoid food that comes in packaging.
Cook your own food, and someone else's.
Notice everything; from buttercup
to butterfly.
Sing loud; in public.
Laugh out loud until it hurts,
especially at yourself.
Treat doing a favour as a privilege,
not a chore.
Believe in something,
yourself will do.
Don't expect to,
and what you get might be enough.

not sure if living to 100 is a good thing, but all the above definitely is. xx

I'll buy into it if I get a guarantee, but I'm not sure about singing, or laughing, or believing, but I quite like the drinnnnnking bit.

This is brill:
I don't want live to 100.
But to do as your poem says
is perfectly true.
to touch,to hold,to,teach,
to feel.
"To give and not to seek the cost"
"To labour and not to ask for any re-ward
sure you know this one.But a lot may not be like this, if eyes and heart and soul are blinkered, don't
you think.
Mind you year's flown for me.
