We Found a Fix

Another way to get your

water past airport secu-

rity, rather than freezing

it as you suggest: I take

an empty water bottle

and put it in my carry-

on. Once I go through

security, I fill it at a

water fountain. It’s easy

and saves money too.

How to Maintain Your

Purpose in Life

Last New Year’s Day,

I vowed to do 365 ran-

dom acts of kindness.

I am on track to do just

that, and I truly am hap-

pier, more relaxed, and

more content. But even

more incredible are the

random acts of kindness

done to me this year.

Were they always given

and I was blind to them?

Or has karma kicked in

and rewarded me? All

I know is that this reso-

lution has given my life

true meaning this year.
