Life - Live it Sunny Side Up

I've been away from my computer this past month. Health and family issues have taken precedence. I'm sure many of you have encountered these types of blips along the way. But I'm happy to say, life has evened out, health issues in the family are getting somewhat better. I'm now hopeful I can get back to writing.

As I was going through some mail, I found a couple of thoughts I want to share with you. They made me do some deep thinking.

Live for Today
Dream of Tomorrow

I think I can safely say many of us have trouble not letting our dreams take over the present. We need to live today, in the here and now. Experience the things life gives us. Yes, I know some days are harder than others and we need to take a little time and dream, but don't let your dreams overtake your every hour. Take steps to accomplish things today. Work on accomplishing your dream, but never let your dreams make you forget to smile at something, spend time with those you love, enjoy the little things that make life good, and find time to tell someone you love them.

In other words....

Live life sunny side up!

(Wish I could take credit for these thoughts, but I can't and I'm sorry, I don't know who said them)

Read a good book -- Give someone a hug -- Be Happy

Happy Reading!

Thought for November

Today is the oldest you've ever been
Yet the youngest you'll ever be
So enjoy this day while it lasts.

I smiled when I read this because it is such a simple idea and so very true. I wonder how many of us really give this much thought. I know I really hadn't. I just get up each morning and go through life, doing the things I need to do. I never think that this is the youngest I'll ever be. I guess that's because I never think of myself being young. I wanted to share the idea with you.

Here's another one that was printed on the board at a doctor's office. It gives us some good ways to think about the things that happen to us each day.

Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you happiness
Bad days give you experiences
Both are essential in life
All are Gold's blessings.

Have a good day. I hope I've given you some tidbits to think about as you go about your day.

Happy Reading!

Thought for Today

Happiness is not a destination -- It's a way of life.
      ---unknown

Had to share.  Saw this is a magazine and thought how true. Sometimes we just have to make happiness what we want in life -- It's definitely the destination we work toward, but I also think we need to decide to be happy, look positive at things, and life will be good to us. Too often, it's easy to slide into the negative and think badly about people, things, the weather, etc. My goal is to think positive. Smile even when I don't feel like it. I want people to think of me as happy.

What do you think?

Thought For the Week

I love thoughts as you might can tell from my blog.  I'm always looking for new thoughts or cute stories I can share.

I found this on a friend's blog, and I wanted to share it with you.  Don't know who wrote it, but I thought it was great.

Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles,
It takes away today's peace.

Isn't that great? How many times have you ruined the here and now worrying about something that might happen tomorrow?  I think we all have at one time.  It's something I have to work on.  Maybe you do too. Today is too precious to waste. 

 So here's my advice -- take time to enjoy today and let tomorrow take care of itself.
Spend time with good friends and family.  Do things you like to do whether it be taking a long walk, driving through the mountains, walking on the beach or going to a movie. 

And last but not least -- Always find time to read a good book!
