Tips for Living Day to Day (DD and SS)

I've been accused a few times of living in the past. But actually, I live in the present...sometimes Enjoying things like music from the past. (Sure beats listening to rap and Tsylor Swift.) But I try to cherish every day and Dick Dale, one of my music heros , said it best:

'Don’t worry about yesterday and don’t worry about tomorrow,” Dick Dale told California Rocker, an online music publication, in 2015. “Don’t worry about yesterday because it’s used. It’s either good or it leaves you feeling bad. And don’t waste time or energy worrying about tomorrow. I could have a stroke and be dead. That’s why they call it the present. It’s a present.” 🎁 Words that REALLY have meaning today and that we should ALWAYS cherish. Thank you Dick Dale ❤️

(And happy thanksgiving)

You know. . . Time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of

 the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young,

 and embarking on my new life. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and  I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I

 have glimpses of how it was back then, and of all my hopes and dreams.

 But, here it is... The winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How

 did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I

 remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those

 older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I

 could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

 But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see a great change...Not like the ones that I  remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.

 Each day now, I find that just getting a  shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I

 don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

 And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth... it's over. A  new adventure will begin!

 Yes, I have regrets. There are things I  wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's

 all in a lifetime.

 So,  if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure  whether this is

 your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of

 your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your

 loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all

 the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!

 "Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after you. Make it a fantastic one............................

LIVE IT WELL!

 ENJOY TODAY!

 DO SOMETHING FUN!

 BE HAPPY!

 HAVE A GREAT DAY........................SS

Will Rogers’- Words of Wisdom:

 

Will Rogers’- Words of Wisdom:

 

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post, was one of the greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known.

Some of his sayings -

1.   Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.  

2.   Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.  

3.   There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.  

4.   Never miss a good chance to shut up.  

5.   Always drink upstream from the herd.  

6.   If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.  

7.   The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.  

8.   There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9.   Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.  

10.   If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11.   Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.  

12.   After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

 

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...  

First ~      Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~   The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~   Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.  

Fourth ~   When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.  

Fifth ~   You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.  

Sixth ~   I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.  

Seventh ~   One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young.  

Eighth ~   One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.  

Ninth ~   Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed.  

Tenth ~  Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it’s called golf.

And, finally ~   If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slow Dance

Slow Dance This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer. She wants to   see how many people get her poem. It is quite the poem Please pass it   on.

You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask, "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed, with the next hundred chores running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his   sorrow? Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say, 'Hi' You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.. When you run so fast to get somewhere, You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away. Life is not a race.

This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own. By your sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, the American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan.

Prayer for those whove left us

 I feel a warmth around me

like your presence is so near,

And I close my eyes to visualize

your face when you were here,

I endure the times we spent together

and they are locked inside my heart,

For as long as I have those memories

we will never be apart,

Even though we cannot speak anymore

my voice is always there,

Because every night before I sleep

I have you in my prayer.

THAT'S IT, MY FRIENDS........GOOD NIGHT

lockSTEP generation "- a take-off on the STEPford generation?

With Doctor Stephen Marmor, ucla -

Most younger (and many others of the 'love generation mentality' we might add) folks today are largely immature, 'spoiled brats,' lacking resiliency who easily  blame others for their own inefficiencies.

May we add the word 'Dems' here, too- those of the lockstep 'opinions' who will as easily debate a subject as they will cut off their left arms. 

 It's mostly a generational thing with those born after 1965 having much less resiliency (around 1 or 2 on scale of 10) as compared to those born before 1965 who are resilient over 6 or 7, according to m

Marmore. 1965  Is an appropriate year to choose transition year should begin statue when the country  Quickly transitioned from a more conservative post war mentality to the liberal 'love generation' thinking. And it would never return to its 'golden era' postwar principles.  So blame much of this , if you want, on my own baby Boomer parents who may have been born with the pre-1965 values bit 'dropped  out' to the love generation , and in most cases never went back.  Its not to  say it's all the baby boomers doing by any means but 1965 was the line of demarcation after the JFK assassination and when the Johnson legislation opened things up to a  liberalized society and started regarding people by race and colour  rather than color-blind efficiency and, as JFK would say 'what we could do for our country, not what t our country could do for us. We've since turned JFK S WORDS upside down To where we are today with a prospective President  choosing his Cabinet almost soley on  the basis of skin colour or race or gender preference.  Post- 1965 parenting failed to instill a sense of 'Pick-yourself-up-by-the bootstraps' mentality  that we saw in the post-war era. Parents, if they weren't already, became squishy, lenient,  "love generation" parents  Who tried to be more like friends to their kids than parents,  letting them do things that they themselves would do, be it smoking marihuana , engaging in  Multiple sex partners,e t c. 

 Shall we call this new generation of people the "lockSTEP generation "- a take-off on the STEPford generation? And so it goes... perhaps a oversimplified but still accurate explanation of how we came to today.
