I found your article interesting and enlightening, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this particular item in your port. I'm a highly organized person, a controller, a "list" maker, but when I read your article, I began to re-think some of my habits, especially when you wrote the following:
And I find that without lists, and endless promises, I feel lighter and each day becomes a rare treasure because it is the only one I have!
This is good advice.

*Idea* Technical Issues

Some of your information in your article seems to be direct quotes from The Tao of Joy. If that is the case, those sections should be in quotation marks or italicized or indicated in some way that lets the reader know these are not your words. This will eliminate any risk of plagiarism.

*Starv* This book is a part of my husbands philosophy in life.
An apostrophe is needed for the possessive form of "husband."
This book is a part of my husband's philosophy in life.

*Starv* He introduced me to it when I was 28 twenty-eight...
and
This one is for the three hundredth 300th day.
In formal writing, The Chicago Manual of Style suggests that you spell out numbers lower than one hundred and use numbers for over one hundred.

*Starv* But one thing is certain, the decision lies with us.
This is a comma splice. There are actually two separate sentences here, joined only by a comma. You could use a period and start a new sentence, or, better yet, use a colon here to introduce the point you are making.
But one thing is certain: the decision lies with us.

Thank you for this opportunity to review your work and to share a part of the Tao philosophy with us. My suggestions and opinions are offered only in the spirit of helpfulness from one aspiring writer to another.
