The plan

In no particular order:

* Live life in the moment, drinking in the details, the subtleties, enjoying both the pleasure and the pain for what they bring.
* Never pass up the opportunity to laugh, even my boisterous “obnoxious” laugh, not caring who hears.
* Surround myself with the things I love and do the things I love to do. Don’t waste time stuck with people or in a place that I’m miserable.
* Love openly, with every fiber of my being. Love so much it hurts.
* Not dwelling in the past and wishing back misspoken words or second guessing deeds. I will live without regret so that when I look back at the choices I’ve made, I feel confident knowing I made the best decision to the best of my knowledge.
* Not giving in to guilt trips.
* Never resisting the opportunities to try new things.
* Not being self conscious, letting go of my insecurities. Own my truth and not feel the need to run away from parts of it.
* Love myself and make sure to maintain myself, even if I find it necessary to withdraw from others for a bit to do so.
* Have patience with the ones I love and the way they express their love for me.
* Have no fear for the future but embrace it as the beautiful unknown and the ultimate adventure.
* Not worrying about material things.
* Conduct myself with grace and kindness.
* Embrace the spiritual side of myself, whatever amalgamation it turns out to be.
* Make a conscious decision every day to live with a joie de vivre, and share it by connecting with others.
