Please do not ever tell me you have nothing to do. If you are sitting staring off into space and feeling sorry for yourself, get up and move around. Yes, it is as simple as that. Walk around where you are. Stretch and jog. Bend over as much as you can. Twist around from the waist. You get it. Moving around can make you feel better in both mind and body. The more you move the better. Physical therapists use the phrase, “Motion is Lotion” and they are so very correct!!

Okay, so I know this does not look like big fun to everybody, but my darling husband knows in his heart that this is what heaven looks like. He has been sailing since he was a boy and his current boat is called 2 Old 2 Sail with a picture of a little old man at the wheel. Message??Follow your heart!

Doctors and behavior specialists are saying that things like jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good for maintaining brain function. So, to that end, I have taken up crossword puzzles as one of my hobbies. Boy, it has turned out to be not only fun, but a communication tool as well. For example, I can ask my friend in California what a 6 letter word for FUN could possibly be and when she answers, she also recalls some of the fun things we used to do together. It is quite easy to build a little network of crossword pals as it turns out. Who Knew???

I’m sorry you guys, but I thought this was so funny that I could not help myself-I had to share. Why don’t you share something you think is funny with someone you like and have a good laugh together??

You can’t get much happier than this!

This is almost my favorite section of this blog. I love to seek out and share positive thoughts. Some days it it tougher than others to simply fine something good to say, but today was a good day, I have many good thoughts to share:

1. Don’t let the ugly in others get in the way of your own beauty!

Never try to talk anyone out of their feelings. Rather try to listen to them share with you who they are. Listening to someone is like giving them a present.

2. Learn to HOPE, not expect. Hope is love in a slightly different form.

3. A problem may be an opportunity for you to shine. Check it out and give it time.

Right here, right now, today, you are right where you are meant to be. Think about it.

Being “HAPPY” is a choice. How we see ourselves, our surroundings, our friends and our loved ones can be cast as either a positive or a negative. The happy guys above are a bit much I grant you, but if you find yourself always seeing the down side and things look bleak frequently, you may chose to seek help in the many forms available to us nowadays.

I saw the cutest T-Shirt the other day. It had a cute dog picture and it said:

“Spread Love Like Dog Hair”

I guess I think that is a pretty good idea!
