Fulghum's Recommendations

I'm reading Robert Fulghum's "It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It," and really like 9 recommendations he made:

1. Buy lemonade from any kid who is selling
2. Anytime you can vote on anything, vote
3. Attend the 25th reunion of your high school class 
4. Choose having time over having money
5. Always take the scenic route
6. Give at least something to any beggar who asks
7. And give money to all street musicians
8. Always be someone's valentine
9. When the circus comes to town, be there

A few recommendations of my own:

1. Make family a priority
2. Read books your grandchildren are reading
3. When you see someone you know, always speak to them and call them by name
4. Express gratitude
5. Plan to be generous
6. Stay in touch with friends
7. Don't wait until you've cleaned house to invite friends over
8. Find time to be still
9. Get involved in a local church
10. Do what you enjoy doing
11. Always eat birthday cake
