That’s easy.

In order to live a good life you need, Good friends, good music, good food and books- lots and lots of books.

Plus you need a good dog- or cat- or bird. Birds are okay. I’ll list them.

But I have to say, birds kind of freak me out because birds are descended from Dinosaurs and unless you’re Godzilla I’m not rooting for you.

Above all in order to live a good life, a secure life, a happy life you also need a good sturdy shovel.

Yes indeedy.  A good sturdy shovel that sits next to your back door or somewhere where it is easy to find- even in the dark- so that it’s there

when you really, really need it.
