<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m going to let you in on a little secret.
Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t
wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the store, a
catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.</span></b></span></div>

But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
