Take care of your health.

Eat right. Exercise. Move more. Use sunscreen. Limit alcohol and sweets. Watch your weight. Yes, that’s a big list if you’re not doing any of them, but even doing just a few of them will benefit you enormously!

We all know water is best, but sometimes you’re craving something more.  Instead of soda, reach for Tea instead.  It has antioxidants in it that promote good health. Decaffeinated is best because it’s less dehydrating, but it feels a little more exciting than drinking water.

Be grateful for what you have.

Recognize the good things in your life: the roof over your head, a steady job, and time for golf or reading just might be the basic structure for the life of your dreams.  When you focus on what you’re grateful for, it’s amazing how many other new opportunities become possible.
