My busy, busy schedule just made the “time fly by like a swift arrow” (old Chinese saying).
Tis only a few weeks before Thanksgiving, which is not just a day for feasting and fun. We need to take time-off from our fast-paced lives to remember all the blessings we have received and to thank and feel grateful for them. We need to do our best to help others, and pay back our community with some caring and loving deeds.
Positive emotions like hope and love are the most powerful medicines in the world. We should always be appreciative, and share our joy with others.
It’s a wonderful world, and we should be most happy and not take our special gifts for granted!
Here is my simple recipe for a happy and healthful life: * Make your own thank-you list. It will bring a big smile to your face! * Inspire people! * Surround yourself with happy, positive people! This will strengthen your heart. * Exercise! This is an important magic ingredient. It is the best way to relieve stress; release endorphins; and improve your body and mind both physically and mentally. * Try something new! Add tranquil, meditative exercises like yoga, tai chi and qigong (offered through most fitness facilities).
Create and share your own gratitude and happiness lists.
My dear friends… You have the power to create happiness and make the world a better place. Do so today!
