Ten Rules for Happier Living

1. Give something away (no strings attached).

2. Do a kindness (and forget it).

3. Spend time with an older person (experience is priceless).

4. Look intently into the face of a baby (and marvel).

5. Laugh often (it is life’s lubricant).

6. Give thanks (a thousand times a day is not enough).

7. Pray (or you will lose your way).

8. Work (with vim and vigor when possible).

9. Plan as though you will live forever (you will) and

10. Live as though you will die tomorrow (you will die on some tomorrow)

.

Good words for this 29^th day of December.  Thanks, Pastor Art for these 10 rules! – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
