Recipe for a Happy, Healthy, Positive, and Productive 2009
- Throw out nonessential numbers; this
list includes age, weight and height.
- Keep only cheerful friends; the
grouches pull you down. If you really need a grouch, there are
probably family members who fill that need.
- Keep learning. Learn more about the
computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Just never let the brain
idle.
- Enjoy the simple things.... When the
children are young, that is all that you can afford. When they
are in college, that is all that you can afford. When they are
grown, and you are on retirement, that is all that you can
afford!
- Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until
you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in
the store by your distinctive laughter.
- The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and
move on. The only person who is with you your entire life is
you.
- Surround yourself with what you love,
whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies,
whatever. Your home is your refuge.
- Cherish your health. If it is good,
preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what
you can improve, get help.
- Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall,
take a trip to visit friend, the next county, a foreign country,
but not guilt.
- Tell the people you love, that you love
them, at every opportunity.
Remember - Life isn't measured by the
number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath
away.

Late last week, I was rushing around
trying to get some last minute shopping done.
I was stressed out and not
thinking very fondly of the Christmas season right then. It was
dark, cold, and wet in the parking lot as I was loading my car up
with gifts that I felt obligated to buy. I noticed that I was
missing a receipt that I might need later. So mumbling under my
breath, I retraced my steps to the mall entrance. As I was
searching the wet pavement for the lost receipt, I heard a quiet
sobbing. The crying was coming from a poorly dressed boy of about
12 years old. He was short and thin. He had no coat. He was just
wearing a ragged flannel shirt to protect him from the cold
night's chill.
Oddly enough, he was holding a
hundred dollar bill in his hand. Thinking that he had gotten lost
from his parents, I asked him what was wrong. He told me his sad
story. He said that he came from a large family. He had three
brothers and four sisters. His father had died when he was nine
years old. His mother was poorly educated and worked two full time
jobs. She made very little to support her large family.
Nevertheless, she had managed to
skimp and save two hundred dollars to buy her children Christmas
presents. The young boy had been dropped off, by his mother, on
the way to her second job. He was to use the money to buy presents
for all his siblings and save just enough to take the bus home. He
had not even entered the mall, when an older boy grabbed one of
the hundred dollar bills and disappeared into the night.
"Why didn't you scream for help?"
I asked. The boy said, "I did."
"And nobody came to help you?" I
wondered.
The boy stared at the sidewalk
and sadly shook his head. "How loud did you scream?" I inquired.
The soft-spoken boy looked up and
meekly whispered, "Help me!"
I realized that absolutely no one
could have heard that poor boy cry for help. So I grabbed his
other hundred a and ran to my car.

New Years Wishes ... May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your
podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S.
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do
that night.
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include generous amounts for charity.
May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
