What makes a good life?

     

Robert Waldinger: What makes a good life? 

Lessons from the longest study...

Ask a hundred people the same question and and you may get many different answers but at the root of it you may find many similar they just used different words.

Have a listen ...

Dona Anderson

This is a great video about a study taken over many years that connected me to my life and ancestry list of 3rd and 4th cousins from generations of great grandparents and thinking about how they lived day to day and migrating across oceans, mountains and more.  How they found food, survived the cold stayed healthy and kept going to built there lives, family and relationships.

 I guess we're living though one of our generations tough times now. I wonder what they will refer this time to 20 years from now in the history books, and how did it shape the years after.

Are there some things You connected to?

Lots of comments on You tube.

Love his smile.

   

We all want to be happy and healthy yet often we go at it in different ways.

We want friends and family relationships but may not give it the time needed.

I hope this is helpful as we deal with all the stress of this time in our lives that will be for the future to observe.

Sharing his quote, 

"Good Relationships keep us Happy and Healthier Period"

He has some other videos on You Tube with more info.

Take Care.

Are there some things you connect to right away that could be changed?

PS.   I'll leave you today with the ending of the meditation Living in Wellness from page 133 in my book Moving Forward from the from the heart.© 2015

My wellness is determined by my awareness, my acceptance of change, my relationships, my internal and outward communication, and my knowing that love is all around me and it is there for me to both give and receive.

I celebrate my success. 

Take Care and have a great day and week ahead.

Have You had one of these Conversations?

About a Dream,

not a night time Dream

the other kind of dream.

Dona Anderson

I'm sure we've all had a similar kind

of conversation.

A moment to exchange what someone else needed to share that was about a worry to them.

About you.

We never know what someone else is thinking, feeling or is a worry to them about others and this one was about us.

  

This one was from our Daughter about us, her parents.

A few years back my daughter told me that years ago when our dream was to move here to Vancouver Island she worried about what if something happened to us and we couldn't fulfill our dream.

I told her that was Ok.

I let her know for us at the time what wasn't Ok was if we didn't have a dream, if we didn't have a plan that we were working toward and figuring out would have been worse.

As we had to move several times for Work we wanted to pick that place We wanted to settle down and call Home for when the time came if all went well.. 

We felt if we were just sitting there with no dream, goal, plan 

- that would have been sad.

PS. we did make it here 19 years ago  and my original want to do list to do list was scrapped except for my last entry to learn more Yoga. 

I'm very thankful for all the learning and growth that was never imagined or would be done if we didn't live and love it here.
