Stay connected with yourself, others and God.

Something I think we should live by.

Make relationships a priority (specifically loved ones). Social ties give you a sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Cultivate your spirituality. Studies have shown that believing in something larger than yourself strengthens your ability to cope with life’s ups and downs.



I finished Catcher in the Rye this morning on my way to work. I now realized I decided to read it again as an older adult. There is so much symbolism and hidden meaning in the book it's moving. I'm not going to be a spoiler, but if you haven't read it for some reason, then you should!! J.D. Salinger is a great writer and the book is a very easy read.
