Life Esssentials - A few noteworthy wordings for the new year

Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Don't worry to much about them. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them :) 

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. ( Keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches ;))

Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

Enjoy the simple things in life. Smile or wave at a child you pass by, or notice the sweet sound of a bird in the morning, the clear blue sky, the lush green leaves...

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with you in your entire life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive and remember you are ultimately in His care and a child of God.

Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's your favorite songs, your family, pets, keepsakes, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

 Cheerish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the park or a mall, to a nearby city or state, or to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is ..

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. You can multiply your joys or share your sorrows with someone who really cares. Build friendships with old friends and always be ready to have a few new friends.
