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

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.

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.
