Make life memorable.

I have advice for my friends. Don't worry. Be happy. Make that your motto. No need to worry. About your finances, or anything. Just let life evolve. In a natural way. Have faith. In your god. Set a fine example for humanity. You'll survive. By hook or by crook. With the help of your dear friends. Or your god. Meanwhile, enjoy being alive and conscious and intelligent and beautiful/handsome. Today is today. You are living in a grand and glorious moment. No need to project ahead to next week or next month or next year. You'll deal with the future in the future. One day at a time. Remind yourself that you are relatively young. And that I'm 77. And that in many ways, it's better to be younger than 77. You most likely have a good slug of years left. With plenty of earning power. Most of you are employed. You have a steady income. You have friends. You are in a better position than you were earlier in life. You have a manageable life situation. You can deal with life in a variety of ways. And you will. You've dealt with life in a nice manner so far. Your life has been a success. It adds up to a wonderful story. Savor it. Damn it. Don't worry. Be happy. On Saturday. Sept. 29. Make it a memorable day. And a memorable night, too. --Jim Broede
