Towards Better Living: Resolve 2010

How to Stay Positive,Youthful & Happy?

Throw out non-essentials. This includes anything that is not essential for You to live life well.

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

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.

Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is. What are guilt trips? Guilt trips are about violating boundaries. It is a way of manipulating people to get a desired outcome through indirect and passive-aggressive tactics.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And Remember

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Your Well Wisher
