Thoughts for Today

I have a dear Aunt who occasionally sends me uplifting emails. Today she sent me 25 'Tips for a Beautiful Life'. Here are some of my favorites:

1.  When you wake up in the morning, pray to ask God's guidance for your purpose today. And, I would add, READ His Word.
2.  Take a walk every day and, while you walk, SMILE. It is the ultimate antidepressant.
3.  Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
4.  Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. And  drink plenty of water.
5.  Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts, but invest your energy in the positive.
6.  Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
7.  You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
8.  Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
9.  Help the needy. Be generous - a Giver, not a Taker.
10.Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
11. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
12. Each night before you go to bed, pray to God and be Thankful!
