Icon7 30 Habits for HAPPINESS!
Thought this might be a nice list to review and take note of how many we take into account on this list as we go about our day/lives...

I would add Eat Chocolate and Collect Watches

NOTE: Not ALL of the items on this list may apply to you but there are a lot of good ones...

Zen.

Non-attachment is the closest you can get to happiness. Strive for happiness and it will never come.

On 21. I would say Reason over fear, but that is just me. Thanks for the nice uplifting post.

Great reminder Larry. Although, that very thorough list is lacking a good cigar.

31. Live in NYC once, but leave before it makes you hard.
32. Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Lived in both spots briefly, not sure if I'm hard or soft but I have been accused of being malleable LOL

It was a quote from some dumb song that was popular about 2 decades ago.

LOL, I can relate to that.

Take it back a little to the inside, keep left arm straight, right elbow tucked to the right hip, make sure to set the wrists early, full turn, pause at the top, let the left hip go first, aggressive but smooth, point the handle at the target on the way down, hold the spine alignment, keep the angle/triangle, hold off the right hand but make sure to release it, keep the club square at impact, now to the high follow through. Oh and keep your head still and your eyes on the ball.
