I try to take the stairs instead of the escalator every time I change floors, every day I am in a place with multiple floors.

I try to walk outside for at least 30 minutes every day, so long as the weather is fair.

I try to write every day, but don't manage that often. A passing average perhaps but not an A.

I read every day. Not always books, not always short stories or even poems, but at least articles, online conversations, enough that words enter my brain via my eyes and keep the flow moving, every day. Life would be very boring without reading, for me. I allow my cat to get in my face and sit on me and be needy every day. I feed him and make sure that he has water.

I eat vegetables every day. I try to make them whole vegetables though they are often frozen and then microwaved.

I try to spend time with someone that I like and like to talk to, physically-in-person, every day. Sometimes this is easy. Sometimes it is not. When I went to Virginia for my employment this week I realized unfortunately that I do not get along well with either of my direct coworkers. However, there were still people there I was glad to see, and spend a little minute with chatting.

I say thank you every day.

Productive member of society? I pay my taxes. I mostly don't cause harm and certainly not wide-scale. I think that if you are not happy you are probably not a productive member of society. With that thought in mind I would say that yes I try to be a productive member of society every day. What good can I do a group if I am not doing good by myself?

At least, primum non nocere.
