Food For Thoughts
How time flies fast. January is almost over! Whew~ I barely had time to settle down and say hello to 2006 but here I am busy busy busy as a bee. Geez, the modern world is just spinning fast. Ironically, I learned from NHK news that our Mother Earth has slowed down its rotation around the sun again these past years. This year though, Japan made a 1 second adjustment to it's official clock to align with the international time. The last time it has been adjusted was 7 years ago.
Speaking of time, here are practical tips on how to stay forever young. I consider these reminders, I hope you do too!
- Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.
- Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches;)
- Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
- Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time with HIM/HER.
- The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self. LIVE while you are alive.
- Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's 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. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
- Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
The Week's Highlights
- At Work. Definitely the hectic CRM worshop.
- At Play. Mt. Naeba weekend snowboarding with Agdie and Lito.
