40 things to do that will make your life better

40 Ways to Live a Better Life ~

-Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
-Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
-Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
-When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'
-Live with the 3 E's—Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
-Play more games and read more books than you did in last year.
-Make time to practice meditation, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
-Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
-Dream more while you are awake.
-Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
-Try to make at least three people smile each day.
-Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
-Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, OR issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
-Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
-Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
-Smile and laugh more. It will keep the negative blues away.
-Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
-Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
-Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
-You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
-Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
-Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
-No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
-Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
-Forgive everyone for everything.
-What other people think of you is none of your business.
-Remember God heals everything.
-However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
-Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
-Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
-Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
-The best is yet to come.
-No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
-Do the right thing!
-Call your family often.
-Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for _______. Today I accomplished ____.
-Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
-Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
-Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
