June 08 Simple Tips for a Better LifeTake a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Sleep for 7 hours. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. Play more games. Read more books than you did in 2008. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6. Dream more while you are awake. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. Drink plenty of water. Try to make at least three people smile each day. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. 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. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. Smile and laugh more. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't compare your partner with others. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. Forgive everyone for everything. What other people think of you is none of your business. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. The best is yet to come. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Do the right thing! Call your family often. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy. Each day give something good to others. Don't over do. Keep your limits.

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday…
Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. and, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.'
Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.
The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!
Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'
'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'
'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'
'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'
'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'
'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back..'
'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'
'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'
'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'
'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'
'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'
Please share this to as many phenomenal people as you like today...
If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another person's self-esteem..
If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles!
Believe me, I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking....I sent it to a lot of special people I care for.
