Dessert Tickets Life Enhancement Programme

The very next time you get a chance, take a new route home. If you find something new and interesting, post it here.

Compliment a stranger today.

Take the subway to a place you've never been.


Go to a lecture which is not required for a class in which you are enrolled. Tell us an interesting thing you heard.

The next time you see an old man shoveling snow, ask him: "Est-ce que je peut vous aider, monsieur?" (If you are in an English-speaking clime, like Toronto or Westmount, adjust accordingly.) If he declines, politely insist once.

The next time you give money to a homeless person, tell him your name and shake his hand. Wish him good luck.

Cook something new.

Tell someone you love them. Mean it.

Write something.


Make a quick list of things that make you happy that of all possible lives you might have lived, the decisions you made have brought you here. If you have regrets that make that impossible, consider the lessons you learned from those mistakes.


Learn how to say "hello" and "thank you" in a language you do not now speak.

Tell us a story.

If necessary, convince the old man that he's feeble. Force him to go inside to warm up his "frail bones". Take his shovel; break his spirit. Encourage him to invest in a walker. Always carry retirement home brochures in your pocket for a situation just like this. ;)





Back home, I had a friend who spent 25ish years living in Whitehorse, where there's only one route from place to place. Now that he's living in good ol' Southern Ontario, he never takes the same route twice.

This is wunderful, ICGYABL.
