Look back on your life up to this point and you'll quickly see that many of your worries and concerns were completely unfounded. So why do you still insist on cranking out those worries at every turn of events?

How many times have you looked back on an occasion with the regret that you didn't simply enjoy yourself? There's nothing you can do about those past regrets, but there's plenty you can do about right now.

It's ridiculously easy to enjoy life, no matter what the situation. It's just a matter of letting go.

Let go of the worry and anxiety, of the anger and envy, of the need to be right and the need to control everyone else. Let go of the need to have everything your way.

Underneath all those layers of need and worry and negativity, there is pure joy. When you simply accept what is, and choose to enjoy the goodness in it, life can be wonderfully rich and beautiful.

Stop worrying and fighting so much, and start enjoying a little more. Give joy some breathing room and it will flourish in your life.

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Exactly and most still prefer to be miserable and they make it a point to take prisoners..."Misery loves company"

:laughing:Maybe that's why I'm single :laughing:

Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.

Ohhh Fran, great words to end the week on! We can only worry about what we can control, and that is really so very little.

Carpe Diem.

Love you!

[I still worry about you with the news, you ok?]
