A LIfe Cut Short Too Soon

The comedian Robin Williams passed away. He took his life.
I don't know why, but his death touched me deeply. "It is always sad to see the end of something that could never happen again." In this case the man himself, too young.

I want to share with you some thoughts - 

Touch that which is most important the least, and touch that is least important the most. 
Let it be.                
Think about this.

Perfection is not a reality.

Be unique - there is only one you, so make it a good one.

Don't take yourself too seriously.

Do what you love.

De-clutter your belongings.

Read a book.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Be spontaneous.

Stop worrying.

The Joy of a simple life - take responsibility and prioritize.

To get maximum value of your property - things to do-
    Fix it up,
    Paint it,
    Get rid of junk and clutter.
(This is my Realtor voice speaking. For those who do not know me well, I was in the Real Estate business for around 27 years. And you know what? This applies to your LIFE as well as to your property. For your life, you make it look good, you will feel good.)

We all need to have The Urge to Purge - purge your possessions, that is -
   Sell it.
   Give it away.
   Barter it.
Have only what works for you.

Every Home must have a cozy room.

Listen to good music - music is the soul of life.
Sounds have many mysterious properties. Sometimes, they positively change the brain and the body.


Spend your time only on things and people who deserve it.

You can choose to be right, or you can choose to be happy.

Take time out to Play. 
Play- time spent without purpose. Go play. - doing things just because they are fun and not because they will help achieve a goal. It s vital to human development. Play is at the core of creativity and innovation.

Create "positive events".

Life is chaotic, noisy, and haphazard, so learn to be relaxed and flexible.

Be patient.

Ponder your life with sense of perspective. 

De-stress.

Joan Miro said, " You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life." 

Discovery is part of the joy of life.

Help yourself by helping others.

Life is too short. So make the best of it.

Age is simply a number.

Live with what you love.

Happiness is a feeling. So Be happy!

Have I given you enough ideas to occupy yourself for a long while?
And to think that people complain about having nothing to do in retirement!

A footnote: Some twenty or so years ago, my sister-in-law, Dum told me that B.J. passed away. She didn't have details. He was in his sixties, like Robin Williams.
