~~~~~Simple Things That Mean A Lot~~~~~

*Take a 10 - 30 minute walk every day. And while you walk SMILE, it is the ultimate anti-depressant.

*Live with the three E's: Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.

*Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

*Dream more while you are awake.

*East more foods that grow on trees and plants and fewer foods that are manufactured in processing plants.

*Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.

*Clear the clutter from your house, your car, your desk, and let new and flowing energy into your life.

*Don't wast precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts, or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive, present moment.

*Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are part of the curriculum, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

*Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

*Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

*Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

*You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

*Make peace with your past so you won't screw up the present.

*Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

{Note from me: Philippians 3:12-14

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.}

I got this in an email and it both blessed and chastised me so I thought I would share it.

YOU inspire me, Kelly.

I, too have been chastised by what you have shared. I also have been inspired.

Thank you.

I think that things go a little smoother when we encourage one another... Can't wait to see you next weekend!
