Episode Synopsis

This song is a wish list for myself to do things better.   Lyrics: I’m thinking I should be more attentive      and listen when people talk. Be more present and engaged when dealing with daily encounters.  when dealing with daily encounters.           Work to be nice and less grumpy as I grow wiser and old. I will exercise my kindness  and give more when I see chances.  and give more when I see chances.   I’ll call a friend who once wasn’t so kind  but now has earned my forgiveness. Be a bit more humble but you know  the old saw about perfect - I’m not.  the old saw about perfect - I’m not.   Some situations would be much better  with a large dose of sincerity.  My tolerance could use some elevation   to a level that engages acceptance.  to a level that engages acceptance.    Silence might be a solution and goal  when tested with things I deem odd.   I must be more passionate   to achieve for myself and others   to achieve for myself and others    It will test me to express compassion  as it has it never come naturally to me.  And lastly, I’ll work to be grateful   for that which I do —with intent.  for that which I do —with intent.
