I dare you



Try it. Just for kicks. Work your ass off for three years at a high-paying job and then quit. Cash out. Turn yourself into a proverbial ATM. Get your life in order. Get your finances in order. Get your shit together. Get your vacuum cleaner fixed. Buy a new suit. Do the laundry that’s been piling up. Fix your computers. Get your boot heels fixed, non slip. Reset your circadian rhythms. Revisit your neurologist for all those concussions. Lower your need for Xanax.

Take walks around the town you love. Donate all the stuff you don’t need to charity. Give your warm coats to the homeless. Learn how to be nice again. Try to remember what it was like to be cool. Love thy neighbor. Love thy self. Don’t drink, but fix your new bong with silicone caulk. Clean your bathroom. Drive your car for no reason. Reach the beach. Watch Juno at 4:00 AM and laugh and cry. Update your iPhome Apps. Date beautiful women. Repair your broken heart and don’t take a beat for granted. Try it.

Have you tried, "Get your kicks on Route 66" It's great to drive across the USA! I do it twice a year. Anne
