Something writers know about creating villains has been really helpful to me in finding grace when I deal with someone I find difficult. That grace hopefully makes ME less difficult, and makes me happier and more aligned with my values. So much love, Your #InternetGrandpa

Something happened yesterday that really reminded me how critical it is that we do for others what we’d want for ourselves. It’s one of the main foundations of basic morality, it’s critical to having a functioning society, but it’s also key for our own individual growth—and growth makes us happy, which is what I want for you! I’m sending you so much love, Your #InternetGrandpa

I’m convinced that being aware of a higher power, and feeling accountable to the ethical and moral expectations of the higher power, are a key to lifelong growth and happiness. Constant expectations that don’t change can be a great gift and can create a very positive stretch and keep us constantly grappling to find and follow the better angels of our nature. This has been a game changer for me. So much love, Your #InternetGrandpa

I was making a post with all of the things I wish for you and as I was speaking, I realize that there was a song that my grandmother loved that expressed all of these things. So I thought I would try singing it even though I’m not warmed up and there’s no accompaniment, and my car is bumpy. Sorry if it’s cringe, but it comes from the heart. So much love, Your #InternetGrandpa
