The best is yet to come.

I've decided that the easiest way to get the hang of this blogging thing is to jump in with both feet, shoes and socks on. And possibly dance around in the water a bit. I will attempt to post something each day for the next week. I have a few ideas for topics - hopefully they'll roll out of my brain in an orderly fashion.

So far I've run into a couple of hiccups. First - I can see (when I log in from a PC) that my photos are not centered correctly. Bah. When I log in on from the Mac - everything looks beautiful and perfectly aligned. Humph. Second - I can't seem to get rid of the yellow spell check highlight, and since Keyo is my boyfriend and I like using words like supa dupa - this could become a problem. I shall try to search out the solutions to these little head scratchers.

While I'm doing that, take a read through this, it's one of my very favorite collections of words. I keep it near so I can be reminded. Enjoy & have a blessed day ~ A

Health:

 Drink plenty of water.
 Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
 Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less
 food that is manufactured in plants.
 Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
 Make time to practice meditation and relaxation.
 Play more games.
 Read more books than you did last year.
 Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
 Sleep for 7 hours.
 Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile

Personality:

 Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
 Don't give in to negative thoughts. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
 Don't over do. Know your limits.
 Don't take your self so seriously, no one else does.
 Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
 Dream more while you are awake.
 Envy is a waste of time, you already have all you need.
 Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin  your present happiness.
 Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
 Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
 No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
 Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away
like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
 Smile and laugh more.
 You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
 Call your family often.
 Each day do something nice for someone else.
 Forgive everyone for everything. Life’s too short to waste energy being upset or mad.
 Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
 Try to make at least three people smile each day.
 What other people think of you is none of your business. And why should you care anyway
 Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.

Life:

 Do the right thing!
 Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
 However good or bad a situation is right now, it will change.
 No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
 The best is yet to come.
