Sunday Reflection - How To Enjoy Life



This squirrel is taking a break, looking at the world, and enjoying life.

HOW TO ENJOY LIFE

  • Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'.


  • Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 



  • Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.

  • 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.


  • 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. 



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




AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: 


Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away.
