Here Is Great Advice
This is an article from the website Inside Oblivia. I thought it was worth sharing and maybe help you get over some bumps.
Lovely Advice
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
Play more games.
Read more books than you did in 2011.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Sleep for 7 hours.
Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. 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 have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
Don’t take yourself 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 with 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.
Society:
Call your family often.
Each day give something good to others.
Forgive everyone for everything.
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.
Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends 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, it will change.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
The best is yet to come.
Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Poem Friday « Bridge Between Life and Death
Bridge Between Life and Death
Author: Lesley Voth
As you know with every breath
It is a bridge between life and death
With all the anxiety and our stress
Breathing deep will make it less
You have seen the vegetation in the cold
Goes to sleep, slows breathing, looks brown and old
But in the spring its like a breath of fresh air
Its warmer, bright, nature takes a deep breath, a colorful affair
So when you are feeling down and a little stressed
Taking a deep slow breath is surely the best
It has been proved it will help you be happy and healthy
Sooth your soul, and be abundant in all things wealthy
Start your day well and be conscious of your breath
Feel it because it is the bridge between life and death

Poem Friday on Sunday
I would not change a thing.
Author: Lesley Voth
Upon discussion of depth the other day
We asked would we do it any other way
Between our group the majority said yes
I had to give this a great deal of thought I confess
My conclusion was I would not change a thing
Beautiful places, friends, experiences my life did bring
It was not always a bed of roses, there were difficult times, some heartache
But those experiences lead me in a direction I would probably never normally take
I would not have my beautiful boys
I would not have “Bobby” my motorbike, my exhilarating toys
I would not have met the wonderful people in my life
I would not know pleasure without some strife.
I may not have traveled and seen such beauty as I did
I may not have met my husband, heaven forbid.
They say that God has a plan for us all
We are in the right place, we should relax and stand tall
I know my life will be busy and a lot of things to do yet
God still has some great experiences for me I bet
So yes the answer is no I would not change a thing
I look back at all that I have done, now I look forward to what those experiences will bring.
