Take good care of yourself and love your body the way God made you.

Try to keep up with technology and use it to your advantage.

The power of choice. The benefit of a positive attitude in each situation one faces, making the right decision and setting your mind in the right direction. 

A story to help remember.

A 92 year old lady, petite well poised. She usually fully dressed by 8 with her hair styled up and makeup perfectly applied in spite of the fact that she is legally blind. Today she has moved to a nursing home  her husband who she spent 70 years with has just passed away making her move a necessary. After many hours of waiting in the lobby of the nursing home she is informed that her room is ready. She smiles sweetly and  maneuvers her walker to the elevator she is accompanied by a staff person who is providing her with the visual description of her room etc she immediately says I love it, to which the staff person says you haven't seen the room just wait.

The old lady says that does not matter. Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like the room or not does not depend on how the furniture is arranged.it is how I arrange my mind that matters. I have already decided to love it. It is the decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice. I can spend the day in bed recounting all the problems my body has that no longer work or I can get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do work.each day is a gift focus on the new day and the happy memories stored away. 

She has made up her mind to like the room even before she sees it. 

It is important to focus on what one can do  than to worry of what one can't do. A healthy mind set allows one to be happy at any state one has to face.

Feed your mind and body that will strengthen and nourish them and they will continue to serve you well even as they age.
