1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. If you really need a grouch, there are probably family members that fill that need.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Just never let the brain idle.
4. Enjoy the simple things. If you can
afford grander things... still enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh
so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country, but not guilt.
10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.
Remember, Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. May you be richly blessed in the coming year.
Inner Peace
I am passing this on to you - - - It is definitely working for me. I think
I have found inner peace. I read an article that said the way to achieve
inner peace is to finish things I had started.
Today I finished two bags of potato chips,
a chocolate pie, and a small box of chocolate candy. I feel better already.
