  27. After reading these 8 tips I wonder if you practice Buddhism. I know a few Buddhists who are as positive as you are and they seem to be very happy and centered.

  35. Ron, thanks for following my blog. Have come to return the favour. What a beautiful blog you have!!

    I especially like that you included No. 6. Laugh. We don't do it enough it seems. I read recently that children laugh about 1000 times per week, but adults laugh only about 5 times per week.

    Keep up the great work. And what a nice way to honour a loved one...
