    Fantastic list! It made me think of things I value and have learned over the years. Like “don’t start crossing that bridge until you get to it.” Not sweating the small stuff, being authentic, education is so important, always learning and staying interested in things, doing kind things for others. It’s a lot of work to compile a list as long as yours. Thanks for the assignment! 😉

      Hi Joni,
      Some great additions, love “doing kind things for others” and “always learning and staying interested in things”, that’s what keeps us young in mind and spirit! Have a wonderful day!
