1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them… that is why you pay 'them.'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep Learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop'… and the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, conifers, hostas, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND……ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares?
But do share this with someone… We all need to live life to its fullest each day!

Calling All Window Display Artisans
As you may (or may not) know, the Graphic Artists Guild publishes a book called the "Handbook of Pricing & Ethical Guidelines," which is the bible of the graphic arts/Illustration industries. The book contains a lot of info for artists about copyright, licensing, sample contracts for all sorts of assignments, and a thorough national survey of what professionals in different fields charge so as to help artists and clients price jobs. http://www.graphicartistsguild.org/handbook/
The Communications Committee conducts a new survey every two years for updated editions. They're currently working on the 2010 edition...
Editor Deborah Kantor is looking for display artists who work in window display- particularly in the NY area- to participate in the survey for the section on window display. If you work in the window display industry, please contact the Graphic Artists Guild to participate in this important survey.
Thank you so much for your help with this,
Best wishes, Lisa Shaftel
