THANKSGIVING NEARS % EXPERTS ALWAYS CHANGING ADVICE
By OLIVENE GODFREY
I was really "under the weather" this past weekend. Son Barry took good care of me and I feel somewhat better now. I hope I will be up to par by Thursday. Barry took my grocery list to the store on Saturday and bought the foods we would need for our dinner. He had bought a Butterball turkey breast several weeks ago. WE have invited a long-time friend to share our Thanksgiving dinner. He and Barry have promised to help with the dinner and clean up as I am not able to do all the special cooking this year.
---------------------------------
It's a fact that we enjoy life more when we look and feel our best. And, researchers are constant telling us how we can get the most out of life, by advising us how to look and to feel our best. Trouble is that every few years they come along and tell us that the things we're doing aren't necessarily what we need. For awhile the answer to staying young and youthful and healthy was to get plenty of sunshine. Now, the experts tell us that exposure to the sun does more than the aging process associated with growing old. And so it goes.
How many times do we read or hear, "Stop worrying". It's obvious that a person when faced with real dangers and threats and hardships is going to be mentally disturbed of he or she doesn't worry. But, it's true that worrying about vague dangers and threats is a habit that needs to be broken. Some people worry when things are good for them because they are having it so good. They just know something bad is bound to happen.
Perhaps the best way to get more out of life is to give more of ourselves. If you are always thinking only about yourself, it's hard to experience much enjoyment. But, people who share in the hopes and disappointments of others have a greater capacity for getting the most out of their lives.
Have a great Thanksgiving day!
See you next time.
