Secret to living a long life!

I have family that are well into their 80's and are still living a fully functional enjoyable life!

I have watched interviews of people well into their 80's & 90's that are asked; "What is your secret to such a long life?" And to a One; the responses are always in the same tone, "Having a peaceful mind."

We run through our lives worrying about our children, spouses, parents, jobs, money, bills; to what end? We keep promising ourselves that "When I retire", or "When I have paid off ...", or "When I have enough money..." I will stop and smell the roses!

But how many *roses* are we passing by and not even taking time to be amazed at the beauty and wonderful scent that the rosebush works so hard to display!?

These *roses* may take the form of our children; who grow so fast and are gone before we fully enjoy the beauty that they display at each level of growth!

These *roses* may take the form the successes that we do achieve at our jobs! Take joy and satisfaction with each task that you achieve, before reaching for the next rung!

These *roses* can be the small gift or action by your spouse; just a little something that makes your day a little easier! *Like changing a light bulb or bringing you a cup of coffee without being asked first!*

These *roses* can be the soft smile and sparkle in the eyes of your parents; cherish them because they will only be recalled in your memory one day.

STOP! Take Time To Appreciate The *Roses* In Your Life!!

Give yourself the gift of a Peaceful Mind!
