Thanks for reminding us about what we CAN do to make our lives better. My attitude about getting through anything or doing a job or dealing with difficult people is how can I do this (instead of questioning whether I’ll be able to do it at all). I’ve had the great fortune of having feisty, funny and creative elders in my life who’re inspirations to me.

You are lucky to have had those elders to inspire you, Valerie, now you will be the inspiration for the next generation in your family with your optimistic attitude. :)

Great article Patricia! Yes I generally have a positive outlook and view myself as vibrant and vital. How we think is so very powerful--it can age us or increase our longevity. It also significantly affects our quality of life!

Powerful 11 ways! I've gotten a lot better on # 4. However, I'm working even deeper into the onion with this one!

It's a hard one, isn't it, Pamela? But a good one to work on as it frees us from taking responsibility for other people's opinions about us. We can spend too much time worrying about it and it really isn't our business. Thank you for engaging with my post. :D
