I am sure this has been posted before but I thought it would be good to remind people:

Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older:

#9 Life is a fatal, sexually transmitted, disease.

#8 Water cycles between the lowest spots on earth and the highest part of the sky. No matter how low it gets it rises back up. We can learn a lot from water.

#7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

#6 Life is what happens while you are making plans.

#5 We all have 24 hours in each day. The difference is in how you invest your time.

#4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

#3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

#2 Each day holds surprises you can enjoy and complain about. The action you take is how you live.

#1 Life is like a jar of jalapeño peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.

Thought for today:
In the 1960’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the people are weird, and they take Prozac to make it all seem normal.

Remember to live each day to the fullest, spreading random acts of love as you go. Be especially kind to old people, they have the experience to kill you without fighting.

Thanks, PaulS. Some of those could be printed in fortune cookies or on the inside of Dove chocolate wrappers.

very good.... I try to remember to thank the Lord for as many little things each day as I can... it makes me stop and appreciate them more.

To live contrite is the most difficult thing one can do.
