To remind me to keep my chin up.

To remind me not to sweat the small stuff.

To remind me to live in accordance with the nature of things.

To remind me to stay balanced.

To remind me to decrease my wants.

To remind me to indulge myself every now and then.

To remind me that everything is as it should be.

To remind me to stop comparing myself to others.

To remind me not to use force against the world, and embrace the way of the universe.

To remind me to follow my own nature, and not the trappings of life.

To remind me that nothing really matters.

To remind me to have no claims to life.

To remind me to be spontaneous, deliberate, watchful, reverent, humble, pure, and accepting.

To remind me that heaven is found on earth.

Nice. So where did you end up getting it done?

Jay @ New Moon. I told him that you recommended him, and when he asked us what our connection was I said, “blogging”. :)

#3 Rob Mayer

Thanks! Yep, the first and only thing I’d ever want.

Now I’m sure he’ll make fun of me later!

@Tiana — Actually, he laughed when I told him, and teased me a bit about it.

@Darren — Your turn!

It’s cool that it means so much to you.
