Enjoying Life

How to Stay Happy

Laughter is good for the soul. We liked this because whilst being funny it hit the mark for quite a few of us...

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

 

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


3. 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 inactivity?

 

4. Enjoy the simple things.

 

5. 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.

 

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself. LIVE while you are alive.

 

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's 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.
Take a trip to the shops, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

 

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

And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares?

But do share this with someone.
