This post, post number 5 of 5, presents several items illustrating Ben’s outlook on life and from which we can learn.

Life is full of joy

Take long walks in the park with those you love

Be sure to investigate things when you walk

Maintain your dignity

Protect the ones you love – even if it means sacrificing yourself

Smile when you are happy

Smile at strangers

Sometimes a tummy rub is the best cure

If you have to go out in the rain, wear your raincoat

If you just open your mind and become receptive, you can learn wisdom for anyone or anything or any source…but you must open your mind.
