There are some good little pieces of advice in that article—

I would word some of them differently.

“Motion is emotion.”

So, hiking is much better than going out to dinner. Running to get out of the rain is better than a slow walk in nice weather.

“Novelty is important.”

It is better to get a weird, funny and/or unexpected gift than a boring one.

“Humor is important.”

Everybody needs to stop taking themselves, life and others so seriously. Lighten up...crack lots of jokes...find humor in anything and everything.

All of this is particularly important as the days get shorter and colder.

“All of this is particularly important as the days get shorter and colder.”

And all of this is important as our lives get shorter and we grow older.

Lighten up...crack lots of jokes

Mrs DoodleBob will sometimes refer to me in public as "my first husband" and I will retort "just because I love you it doesn't mean I don't hate you, ya know."

People become confused.

We laugh.

And then they still don't get it.

I am the luckiest guy alive. I married up. She's the best.
