On Being Good

Back in 2003, I wrote a list of "better person" actions, which included:

*wash face, brush teeth, floss every night before bed (anyone who knows me well knows how hard a time I have with this one)
*eat more fruits and vegetables
*exercise more
*drink more water
*study AND engage with the material
*wait for a pause before speaking
*balance checkbook
*no more alarm-snoozing

...and other assorted gems. It's amazing how the truly important things - being a patient conversationalist, for instance - are often the hardest to do.
