1. In Losing, I say: “I have a simple definition of love: The happiness of a person I love is more important than my own.” I would like to amend that. For me, Anne’s happiness is my happiness. For me, there is nothing better than Anne experiencing happiness / pleasure / etc. That’s why I have literally dozens of pictures of Happy Anne around my office.
3. If you ever hike in new places, get the paid version of the AllTrails app.
If you can’t afford it, I’ll gift you a membership.
Get hiking poles. Even when travelling. Since we only ever fly with carry-on backpacks (and thus can’t bring poles with us) we buy (or borrow – TY N&J) a pair (we each use one). Then we give them away before we fly back. You’re welcome.
4. John Green (link) gives his own personal example of our “No Justice” world:
His comments about soccer mirror mine about basketball.
5. The “social” internet is a net bad. It is important to distinguish that from “the internet” (Wikipedia, AllTrails, every song you could ever want to hear, etc etc etc.)
6. My new friend Paul Ingram runs a very interesting project: PainScience.
He covers many fascinating topics, including the recent Belly fat and chronic pain. (Chronic pain will probably come up in a future post.)
7. If you’re in the mood for some philosophy about religion.
8. Finally, from you know where (just a smidge of all the amazing advice therein! ;-)
Don’t holler from the other room. Just don’t do it. Get up and go to them. You’ve been sitting too much as it is.
Also: Set and strictly follow the rule: You can’t answer a question with a question.
Also: Take everything your loved one says to you in the best possible way. If they really love you, they are probably saying it because they want you to be happy.
