I am always tuned into symbolism, as you know. During a recent French adventure I was introduced to pithy advice from essayist Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

“The most certain sign of wisdom, is cheerfulness.”

Some tips …

Think less.

Feel more.

Ask once.

Give thanks often.

Appreciate everything.

When you feel pain, think HELP IS ON THE WAY.

Wink.

Chill.

Smile.

Advance confidently expecting the best.
