Make the Most of Where You Are in Life.

You can spend time worrying about looking younger, or spend time sitting outside with a glass of iced tea watching the birds.

You can think you are retired and lonely or plant some flowers or do something for someone who needs cheering up.

You can spend all day trying to find the anti-aging product to take off 10 years, or reading a good book, going to lunch, or taking a walk or a nap. You can even straighten up your closet and bask in the results.

Just make the most of where you are on this precious day in your life and don't give in to wishing it away.

Words of wisdom. I will be rereading this whenever I feel the need for a reminder.

It is nice to do so many of these things

I just saw the mother bird come and check out my deck and "her" "nest chair" where she had 5 successful babies hatch and fly over a month ago. I hope it all met with her approval! I hope she will build a nest again.

My daughter sent me pictures of 3 deer and a fawn too while she was sitting on a friends deck for lunch today. There is just a magical world out there.

And I think I will read the rest of this book which isn't the greatest but it is nice before a nice long nap-a page and it puts me to sleep lol!

I do think even with worries of illness or troubles for our family or ourselves, somehow to find something that gives us joy and makes us happy is what can make a difference in a day.

That's a nice passage you sent @Sooner

I think a nap is better for anti aging than any lotion or potion you could put on your face.

@Sooner LOVE this! I copied it and sent it to a few friends who I think would appreciate it and a few who I feel could use the extra 'push'.

Absolutely! I cannot imagine getting out of bed every morning looking for something or someone to complain about. Over the last few years I truly accept that life happens, and I deal with it.

I honestly thought, when I was younger, that my life would get easier as I got older - at least until I was really old and my body started to fall apart.

Boy was I wrong on that one.

And I was feeling a bit guilty for not doing a darn thing today except play games, read and look at online shopping sites.
