Simple Pleasures and Quality Living
money and the things money can buy, but it is good to
check up once and a while and make sure you haven't
lost the things money can't buy. One has achieved
success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved
much. "Count your age by your friends, not years.
Count your life by laughs, not tears."

Quality of life depends on what each individual
needs and wants. I look forward to enjoying a peaceful
life and, if at all possible, to enjoy nature, mountains,
m~adows,
streams, and the oceans. Then I would be
happy. The children coming for visits would be joyful.
Quality living is to see babies, young children, and
young animals, to watch a caring mother with her
children, and to enjoy spring time and fall. Enjoy the
feeling at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Reach for those aspects of life that build
relationships with people. Time together as a family is
vital. Grow together by being together. Allow time to
grow strong spiritually with God. Spend time in prayer
and alone with Him every day.

Look for balance across important areas (finances,
family, work). Look at people at airports saying
goodbye and hello and build that attitude and
expression in your important relationships. Be a
generous giver in all aspects of your life. An afternoon
nap, and watching children and
grandchildren
participate in their sports/activities are all part of my life.
