All these things are indeed good bits of wisdom, but be sure to live on the edge a little too. It makes for good stories when you get older (I'll turn 37 in March - yikes, that sure sounds 'older'...).

My 'good' stories are about getting arrested as a teenager at anti-nuke/anti-war protests, volunteering at a raptor center helping injured hawks and owls regain flight, leading a field program down the Mississippi to explore issues of agriculture and environmental justice, and plenty of other worthwhile oddness since then. Most of these good times involved financial hardship and a good bit of chaos, but what few regrets I have come from the times I played it safe when my heart said 'go!'

I hope it's a happy 22nd year for you!!! :toast:
