The Daily Dozen

There are certain things, besides drinking all the coffee we can possibly hold, that we should do each and every day.   I certainly have a group of goals and priorities that I try to meet daily - sometimes I win, sometimes I come close, and sometimes I’d have been better off staying in bed.  One thing I have learned, though, is that we humans are pretty predictable - we will do those things that matter the most to us. Sad. And true.
To kind of get us all thinking, I came up with a post idea:  The Daily Dozen. If you have a blog, you might want to post your own Daily Dozen - the 12 things you strive to do on a daily basis.  There are more than just 12, of course, but The Daily 20 doesn’t sound nearly as snappy.

Below are 12 from my own reserves to get your mind perking.

1. Learn something new everyday.
2. Pray.
3. Tell everyone you love that you love them.  Often.
4. Do your job better than anyone expects you to.
5. Give praise and encouragement liberally.
6. Keep up with the local news - you should know what’s going on around you.  (I need lots of work with this one.  Unless you count the comics, recipes, and Hollywood gossip. )
7. Get some sort of physical activity for at least 30 minutes.
8. Look people in the eye when you talk to them, and most definitely when they talk to you.
9. Never, Never, Never judge another person. “There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.”
10. Take pride in your appearance.
11. Spend at least 20 minutes each day relaxing to the point of being able to hear your own breathing.
12. Smile.  You’re aive.
