The cover of one of my notepads suggests ways we should live more and live less. Inspired by this message (on Friday, March 28th, 2014), I wrote a post about "Words to Live By." I have decided to make weekly updates to this post, until I start repeating myself! I promise each weekly update will contain more information than just the five new phrases though!
Readers are invited to use the comment section below, if they have new ideas of "words to live by" which would complete the phrase _____________ more. ______________ less."
Here are the ideas for this week:
Last week's suggestion of "Wag more, Bark less" inspired me to continue with an animal theme this week! Here are two phrases I saw on merchandise from the website cafepress.com:
Howl more. Growl less.
Purr more. Hiss less.
The next three phrases just sort of came to me:
Whinny more. Kick less.
Swim more. Belly up less.
Groom more. Shed less.
Just as a reminder --

I'm trying to live more, not less. How about you?
What suggestions do you have?
Interesting. I like this idea. Why not; be yourself more, adjust to others less? Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a kind comment, apreciated!
