TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS, WE MUST NOT ONLY ACT, BUT ALSO DREAM; NOT ONLY PLAN, BUT ALSO BELIEVE! Anatole France

I just love the little magazine 'Prevention'! It is loaded with so much information about our health and well being! Last month it had this reflection on 'Guidelines for Life':

IT'S OKAY to be who you are. You only need to compete with yourself to improve and become a better person.

TREAT yourself with care: You are your best friend.

THROW away resentments you hold for others and laugh more often.

TOUCH others by being a good listener and appreciating their thoughts and opinions.

SAY no to risky behavior.

FORGIVE yourself for not being perfect.

EAT well, exercise, and take your vitamins. Your body is you temple.

REALIZE how much you family loves you.

REGULARLY re-evaluate your life to keep a clear focus on where you are going.

REMEMBER to appreciate nature, look for what is new each and every day, and hold the Earth and its people close to your heart.


Life is precious, and we need to treasure it as a rare jewel. Our experiences can help polish off rough spots and make our lives shine. What you make of your life is up to you.
