in My 80’s

I would like to be this woman in my 80’s

Every day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I will focus on the new day and the happy memories I’ve stored just for this time in my life.
HAPPINESS is like a bank account: you withdraw from it, what you deposit.
So my advice would be to deposit a lot of happiness into your memory account.
Remember these five simple things:
1.- Free your heart from hate/discord.
2.- Free your mind from worries.
3.- Live Simply.
4.- Give more.
5.- Take less.

Thou Mayest

You May

Out of knowledge comes choice

William Shakespeare: “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. ”   “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

excerpts taken from article by Dan Ornstein.

That [choice] makes a man great, that gives him stature with the gods, for in his weakness and his filth and his murder of his brother he still has the great choice. He can choose his course and fight it through and win.

Timshol: this one word is telling humanity that we can choose to fight through and win the battle against our worst impulses, our worst sadness, anger, hatred; we can choose to do better, behave better, act with more compassion and self-restraint.
