Happiness

Happiness does not mean you've settled for less:  it signals you're ready for more. 

Looking back

When we retire, we have a longer road behind us than in front of us. When driving down the road of life rarely do you know how good you have it, until you see it in the rear-view mirror. 

Which is not to suggest that you should look back now, but to remind you that where you are today is more awesome and amazing than you probably realise. Live in the moment, but realise that the past has brought you to this moment, so cherish your journey and look forward to many more twists and turns in the road before the end of the journey.

Connections

In case people look at you funny when you tell them of your loftiest dreams, goals, and blog, all you have to do is turn your head sideways, raise an eyebrow, and slowly say, "I... have... connections...." 

Because we all do, all we have to do is reach out and ask.

No reason to be unhappy, if you think about life

Most people will find it very hard to believe, but there is nothing, ever, worth being unhappy about. 

Because no matter what happens, it will add to you, and your life story. You and everyone else are still alive. In your heart, everyone, whom you love and who you have lost, is together. They will remain as long as you remember them in your heart.
