I thought this was worth sharing. sincerely, Lea
Make Small Commitments. Get Big Changes. Compiled by Michael Dalton Johnson
Taking Care of You Drink plenty of water. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. Eat more fruits and vegetables and eat less that is manufactured in processing plants. Avoid eating food that is handed to you through a window. Live the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy. Play more games. Read more books than you did last year. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Sleep for 7 hours. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.
Your Outlook Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. Don't overdo. 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 others of their past mistakes. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 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 but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. Learn a new word every day. Smile and laugh more. You don't have to win every argument.
Your Relationships Call your family often. Each day give something good to others. Forgive everyone for everything. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and 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.
Your Life The worst promise you can break is one made to yourself. Do the right thing! Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. The best is yet to come. When you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it. Your Innermost Self is always happy. Follow it. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

Although I enjoy receiving and reading them, I very rarely pass along emails. I suppose it stems from my years of training to be computer tech and subsequently network administrator. I spent so much time studying, implementing and maintaining network security that it became ingrained in me to be cautious. But there are such great free antivirus and internet security programs that I don't need to be so vigilant now. Still, I only pass along jokes/inspirational stories to the people I know will enjoy them. Since most of my friends are online, most of them see the same stuff anyway through either the same or other sources.
Hubby passes along everything, mostly to his BIL in Quebec, who wouldn't get most of those jokes/stories otherwise.
