I’d be lying if I told you this was an easy day. I try to view it as just any other, but it’s not. It’s the day I lost one of my best friends, my dad. I don’t get sad thinking of my own story. I miss him, but getting sad for myself would be selfish considering all that was lost and all that I’ve had.

I’m doing very well, as are my brother, sister and mom.

I decided to share some words of wisdom that I received Thursday morning for my final piece of the old millennium. They're purported to be from the Dalai Lama, who's obviously far smarter than I am, and he's unquestionably one of the world's great spiritual leaders. Besides, I'm in full agreement with his "Instructions for Life."

-- When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

-- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

-- Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

-- Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

-- Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

-- A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

-- In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

-- Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

-- Be gentle with the Earth.
