Life Is Great

Life is SHORT make it SWEET.

Quite recently I said to my wife, now that we have passed 50, the remaining years of our life together are not too many, so why quarrel over little things and make our lives together burdensome. Having said this, I must clarify that in the past and present we seldom quarrel and out lives together has been pleasant and wonderful but what I desire to see is that the remaining years will be filled with more joy, more laughter, great conversation, looking forward with anticipation of great things to come, and fill our days with the grace of God.

Quite honestly, the days and years of the past are gone. Looking back the life's journey we have walked can only give us a sense of gratitude or lessons in life which we hope that we will not repeat them in the future if it is a mistake. If we keep looking back we are like driving a car constantly looking at the rear view mirror. If this is so, it can be very dangerous because we lack focus of that which is in front of us. So, I suggest, look ahead and see the beauty as it presents to us. Enjoy the view of the present. Look forward with hope. The only thing we have is our tomorrow. How you wish to see the future depends on what you decide today.

I suggest decide, life is short make is sweet all the way.

  2. Happiness is a choice. If you care to look for something good in any situation or person, you can find it and be thankful. On the contrary, if you look for the bad, you too can find them and perhaps more than the good. Finally it is up to you to decide. Choose the good, you will be thankful and happy. Life is short, make it sweet
