The only thing I can add to the wonderful advice is, Smile at someone, say hello to a stranger passing in a store or on the street. You never know how much that little contact can mean to someone. I also make it a point to do something nice to at least one person a day, open a door, let them out of a side street, let them go ahead in a line at a store, whatever you choose. I truly believe what you give, you get. I will be a new follower of your blog.tismehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766742640496647829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-91633982688820645712012-03-05T10:56:48.376-06:002012-03-05T10:56:48.376-06:00Beautiful post.

When we first got married, one of my "rules" was that whoever got up last has to make the bed. That was a winner for me because I always get up first and yes, DH, is still making the bed (and we celebrate 50 years in August)! Once when I went to a shower for a friend at work, we were all supposed to write down a word of advice for the new bride. I wrote down that she should tell her hubby every day that she loves him. Everyone nearly laughed me out of the shower for that! BTW, most of them were divorced, and sure enough, the bride only stayed married to him for a few years. How sad. In an hour I am going on a quilting retreat - some time with women friends is so good!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-77099322989248074472012-03-01T19:45:13.872-06:002012-03-01T19:45:13.872-06:00You are a treasure.

Don't "collect" anything. All you do is create more work for yourself, storing the stuff and keeping it nice. You'll accumulate stuff you eventually don't need or want, and at the least will become tired of. Possessions aren't the beat all to end all as a sign of a happy life. Living simply means living peacefully.FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-2218052178471522522012-02-28T20:19:08.032-06:002012-02-28T20:19:08.032-06:00Love this list girlfriend!Love this list girlfriend!Michelle May-The Raspberry Rabbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264870809778872918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-56380802151241899732012-02-28T18:47:11.157-06:002012-02-28T18:47:11.157-06:00very good advise. i am 70 and so many women my age...very good advise. i am 70 and so many women my age have to wear diapers. push ups cross your ankles if you have to just do it you will be so glad you did somedaybarbara woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824180957906837061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-48083245561440553022012-02-28T13:38:04.997-06:002012-02-28T13:38:04.997-06:00Excellent advice.
