[Nfbf-l] A Good Recipe

[Patricia A. Lipovsky]

Recipe for a Happy, Healthy, Positive, and Productive 2012

I thought this was pretty good.  I hope you all do too.

1. Throw out nonessential numbers; this list 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 who 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... When the children are young, that is
all that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you
can afford. When they are grown, and you are on retirement, that is all
that you can afford!

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 you your entire life is you.

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, take a trip to visit
friend, the next county, a foreign country, but not guilt.

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

Remember - Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
the moments that take our breath away.


 
And Also remember....
If you lack the courage to  start, you have already finished.
