>> TODAY: Rules For Happy Living

>>

>> I rediscovered ten rules for a happy life that are worth saving.

>>These were attributed at one time to Boyce Bowdin.

>> But whoever the original author is --

>> thanks for sage advice on how to live happily.

>>

>> 1. Strike a balance between work and play, between

>> seriousness and laughter.

>>

>> 2. Stick with the truth even if it makes you look or

>> feel bad. Falsehoods are like wandering ghosts.

>>

>>3. Forgive your enemies as part of the price you pay

>> for the privilege of being forgiven.

>>

>>4. Spend time outside. Walk. Get lots of air and

>> sunshine and occasionally some rain or snow in your face.

>> Get some dirt on your hands.

>>

>> 5. Talk over your troubles, mistakes and dreams with

>> someone you trust.

>>

>> 6. Don't underestimate the ability of God to

>> straighten out a situation -- even when you can't. Be patient.

>>

>> 7. Discriminate among your fears. Learn to tell

>> which ones are useful, which ones destructive.

>>

>> 8. Remember that the ultimate death rate is 100%.

>> You would be getting gypped if everyone got to die and you didn't.

>>

>> 9. When you can't sleep, say, " Aha! Here's a chance

>> for a little privacy and creative thinking. Or prayer. "

>>

>> 10. Fall in love with life, with children, older

>> people, the theater, music, books, cities, hills, the sea;

>> everything except money.

>>
