Why not laugh

Laughing is a good work out for your diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles. Not only does laughter give your midsection a workout, it can benefit digestion and absorption functioning as well. It is estimated that hearty laughter can burn calories equivalent to several minutes on the rowing machine or the exercise bike (and you know how much I love the bike).

Bike and swimming are to two forms of exercise that I don’t care for. If there is nothing else to do I will do them, but they are on the bottom of my list.

Back to laughter. If you want your brain stimulated, laugh, because laughing enhances learning. If you want to release muscle tension, laugh. If you are psychologically stressed, laugh. Laughter keeps the brain alert. If you want to retain more information, laugh.

Now we are getting somewhere. Ready for more? Well, here we go.

Rather than get upset when things are not going your way, laugh. Laughing helps you, and also the people around you, feel better. If you need to release pent-up feelings of frustration and/or anger, laugh. Laughter is a socially acceptable way to it. When you laugh, you reduce tension, which can be very relaxing.

Are you starting to become a believer? I sure hope so! But, there is still more.
To minimize a situation that is causing you anxiety, visualize a humorous situation.
Laughter helps to bind us together. When we laugh together it helps us become closer to one another. Laughter is better enjoyed when it is shared with others.

If you want to be healed, laugh. Doctors are giving more patients laugh therapy to reduce stress.

When you hear laughter, go find out where it is coming from. Go there, listen, and if you have anything that can encourage more laughter, join in. There is something about laugher; it breeds on itself.

The above reason are good, but there is more and I’ll tell you them at a later time, but tell them keep laughing.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

We are never too old to learn

Studies now show that we can keep on learning no matter what your age. So who cares? We should all care? By continually learning the world becomes a wonderful place.

People today more than ever have to continue to keep pace with our changing world. Example having a PC was a very big deal 15 years ago. Today we carry devices that can fit in our pockets that our more powerful that the PC of 15 years ago.

Just like physical activity keeps your body in shape, keeping you mind active keeps you mind in shape. Manually adding numbers help keeps the mind in shape. Anything that works you brain is good.

By keeping your mind active it gains in mental strength or putting it another way use it or lose it and who want t lose it. Playing card, doing cross word puzzles or anything that challenges your mind helps build your mind.

My Dad was writing programs for is PC in dos when he was in his 80’s and a friend of mine, who is in his mid 80’s, is still consulting and is in great demand.

Learning is something we never have to stop doing. The great thing is there so much for us to learn. By learning new thing our lives become so much richer. We can accept change better, which helps relive life’s tension.

Do one thing each day that works your mind. By doing that you mind will forever expand and allow you to continue to grow. What is wrong with that? When you constantly learn new things and keep you mind active you enjoy more of the things that are going on around you.

Don’t let anyone tell you are too old to learn, because they are wrong. Keep your mind active and your life’s journey will be good one.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Celebrate

Happy birthday, thanksgiving and happy new years, these are all time for celebrations. We could fill up the whole page of celebrations and there would be important to you and me.

Let talk about what celebrations do for us, first celebrations help us remember. The 4th of July helps us remember the founding of our Country. Thanksgiving let us remember to be thankful for what we have. Remembering those things that have made us and our country a wonderful place to live in, is so important to keep us centered on how thankful we are.

Second celebrations make us feel good. The 4thof July picnic makes feel good about living in such a fantastic country. New Years eve we celebrate for a successful last year and looking forward to rewarding new-year. Then there is the birthday celebration, some people want to forget their age, but my Dad always said you want to have birthdays.

Third it is a time to celebrate that we have the opportunity to continually improve our self. If every day we get a little better just see how much better we’ll be at the end of the year. Just think if you wanted to get into better shape. If you started working out 10 minutes a day the first week and every week there after you added 1 minute by the end of the year you would be working out over 60 minutes a day.

When you celebrate your’ giving yourself a gift. Who deserves it more that you. You’re a good person, so soak up the energy you get from celebrating. Take the time to not only celebrate the big things, but take the time to celebrate the little thing. You will find life much more rewarding when you do.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Yes it s time to be THANKFUL

It is so easy at times to see all the bad things in the world. The question is can we control them? I think not, but let’s look at all the good things that are going around us daily.

Three weeks ago Micki, my wife, had knee surgery. It was more painful that she thought, but after two and half week things have gotten a lot better. The good thing is she is driving and insists on using here Porsche.

Just having her back doing the things she likes to do is enough to be thankful for. But there is more. Skip our oldest son last Wednesday had major hip surgery. The doctors said he should have full recovery, but he is going to have to take it slow recovery. For a guy who does triathlons not being super active will be a real strange.

Skip has gone through other things such shoulder reconstruction, three vertebrae frozen together plus knee and other body reconstruction. Ship was baseball player and has gone through all of this. Todd our youngest son played tackle football from the age of eight through four year of college and has never seen the inside of a hospital, except to see his brother.

We are told that both Micki and Skip are going to be as good as new and that’s a lot to be thankful for. But there is more. Our Dallas son, Todd, came in for Thanksgiving which a special treat.

Todd got to see Skip and being their not only brothers but good friends that was a good lift for Skip.

2011 is going to a GREAT year because we have everyone healthy. My new book will be out and I am looking forward to telling the story of Dump the Grump.

Being a care giver

A week ago Friday Micki had knee surgery. It was out patient, so she was home by 3:00 PM. They had her full of pain medication, thus she felt pretty good. We had some stronger medication for when the hospital medication wore off so I was feeling real good that Micki wasn’t going to have much pain. Was I wrong?

She didn’t want to take our pain medication tell she needed it, so we waited and waited. Then the pain came, not a little, but a whole lot. I have been told you don’t want to let the pain get ahead of the medication and now we were finding out why.

Here are the stories that were told to me by friend that have had their knees scoped. They told me a couple of day they were almost walking normal with little pain.

That didn’t happen to Micki here knee then here foot was just throbbing with pain. There was little sleeping and as time wore on here patience wore thin. This is when being the care giver can be challenging
.
What happened Saturday morning Micki fired me. Yes she fired me, now what I am going to do? Then the pain medication kicked in and she rehired me. That was a close one.

After a week Micki still has a lot of pain and I am doing my best to make sure she gets everything she want and needs. I must say I am not the best care giver, but I am working on continual improvement.

To let you know she can walk without crutches around the house, but when she is outside she needs the crutches.

The worst is over for Micki and now I have the big question. I am a bad care giver or is Micki a poor patient. Or could be a little of both. To tell you the truth I don’t care. What I care about is Micki is on the mend and smiling, so I am a happy guy.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Why is unemployment so high?

Let’s start with who creates jobs, small business. The question is why are they not hiring?

I’ll put the answer in a form of a question. If you didn’t know what your cost were going to be in the future what would you do? If your’ like most of us you would be reluctant about spending your money.

Here is a big question what our health cost going to be? What are your taxes going to be? What is the cost of all the new government regulation going to be?
To you hear a tone of uncertainly in those questions. People get nervous when there is too much uncertainly thus they don’t spend.

As the uncertainties start to get minimized, then small business will start to grow their businesses. At that time production will ramp up and there will be a need to hire.

It sounds simple to me. Take the uncertainty away and our economy will start to flourish, which mean unemployment will go down. That will mean more money in the economy and the cycle will continue to build.

Good news it seems the president is will to let the tax cut ride and the thinking is they will stay for two years. If that does happen one big uncertainly is gone.
Health care is important to all of us, but I think what was pasted needs to be re- examined so we don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Raising energy cost just because some people think certain forms of energy a bad. I am not saying we don’t need to re-evaluate our whole energy needs, but to change everything right now is like trying to turn a massive oil freighter in ten minutes and that can’t happen

We are now at a point that some positive discussion will happen and from that dialog, things will be done so the most dynamic economy ever known to man can get recharged.

Make more out of life; see the glass as half full.

It all depends who you talk to. There are those that tell you the world is going bad and others are seeing opportunities that going to make them rich. Why such a different?

There are some people that always see the glass half empty. They are out to find the worst and they just find it most of the time. That is too bad because they might have found many things that could have their life better.

I’ll admit it I see the glass as half full. Do bad things happen to me, you bet. But, in the whole scheme of things I am doing quite well. There is an old saying “you get what you ask for” and if there is any truth to it, then doesn’t ask for bad things.

Here are some tips to see the brighter side of the world so when you get up in the morning think of all the good things that happened to you the previous day. This helps you get that boost to make the day a good one.

Don’t be around people that are happy when you not happy and don’t spend time worrying about what they tell you is wrong with you or your situation. I’ll say this again don’t be around these types of people.

Be around people that laugh, smile, say thank you and want to help others. When you’re around these folk your life is always in the sun light. Even if there is some rain in your life, remember rain is what makes the flowers grow.

Certain things you can’t pick, but is for sure you can pick your friends. Pick your friends wisely and then nurture their friendship. Sometimes you might not want to do something, but because they want to, do it. This will not happen often, but you will build even a stronger relationship with you friend if you do. You know something; you might even end up enjoying what you did with your friend.

Many times we over complicate the simplest things, so take my advice and don’t do that. Look at everyday as gift and enjoy them and while your’ doing that give a smile and a thank you to your fellow human being.

Things that go around come around, so keep a smile on your face and in your heart,
many wonderful things will happen to you.

Happiness with health and wealth to you
