I dislike risk, but always run at it full-steam.

I felt better in my nerd skin, and wasted too much time thinking it was better to be cool. Fortunately, I was the only one who really thought I was cool at the time. Good thing.

Mom's the word. I totally dig my kids - big time. Laughing is a sport in our house and I think my mom skin actually fits me the best.

I have a pretty sweet wingman. He's extra fun and spicy. Kinda like a fajita mostly. Not too fancy, but when you really need him to be - he can get seriously gourmet - dressed up with all the fixins.

I write about empathy. When my wingman lost his wings for awhile - we got real smart and decided life's about a lot more than high-price cereal. We live a no-name brand life these days and write about it by walking a mile in the others cheap shoes.

I'm happy. Period. Oh crap - scratch that period and include - appreciative. Yep - happy AND appreciative.

Life's a ferris wheel. You have to remember that what comes up - must come down - so whatever you do, don't throw up on the person below you. That's gross.

And finally - I've learned that you can't drag a uhaul behind the hearse - so take it from me - don't focus on the wrong rewards. Life is short but so very sweet. My advice: take an extra minute at bedtime books and snuggles before work, and hold hands with your wingman - it pays off.
