Advice

“Affirm it, visualize it, believe it, and it will actualize itself.”

It’s great advice and it was found inside a fortune cookie!

Happy Saturday, friends. We’ve waited all week to get here so let’s enjoy this day. First, I’ll visualize myself having a good day and then will believe it to be true!

It’s adventure day so that means anything is possible.

Leave Every Day

Leave every day better than you found it.

Sometimes the best advice is the kind you find along the way while out roaming. This picture was snapped while out roving the mean streets of New York. Be nice to cashiers. Smile at strangers. Help an elderly person with that case of water they’re trying to wrestle into their cart.

Treat yourself kindly, take a walk, pick up some litter and do what you can to leave the world a better place than you found it.

It’s a rewarding way to live.

Life Is A Mountain

Life is a mountain. Your job is to find your path, not to reach the top.

Do Your Own Thing

This is the best advice I can give you. Stop worrying about what your neighbors have, what your family expects and what society thinks.

Do your own thing and be happy.

Some Advice

September 2018 (7)

Look around. You never know where you’ll find some good advice and great pizza. The above sign hangs on the wall at C&J’s Pizza in Wytheville, Virginia. It’s a little off the beaten path and populated mainly with locals so you know it has to be good. The walls are lined with great memorabilia including this cool vintage sign from the New Orleans Police Department.

“Beware Pickpockets and Loose Women.”

Sounds like timeless advice to me!

The food here was fantastic. I had a delicious side salad and the veggie pizza was amazing. The service here was good too despite the fact the place was packed the entire time we were there. My only regret is that there’s no photographic evidence of this tasty meal.

I try to avoid chain restaurants when traveling. I didn’t drive all the way to Wytheville to eat at Applebees and was thrilled to find this local joint was as good as internet reviewers and  locals claimed. I don’t eat meat but I hear their hamburger pizza is a local favorite and something you don’t find on a menu at a chain restaurant.

Whether it’s your own town or a vacation destination, my best advice is to head off the beaten path and pay no mind to how ugly the front door is. If the parking lot is full and it is clean inside, you’re probably in the right place.

Wherever you go – just beware those pickpockets and loose women!
