Being Truly Alive

More pages. Fewer screens. Less (or better yet, no) television. Some radio. More literature. Better films. More family photographs. Classical music or jazz. Fewer magazines. More hand-written notes and letters. More phone calls instead of email. More sleep. Less sugar. Walks. Meditation. More order. Better design. Less anxiety. Greater patience. A love of alertness. An addiction to gratitude. A search for beauty. Appreciating the small things. Knowing that few things are small.
