My mission is to keep myself healthy in different areas of my life.

With regards my body by eating the right foods with good nutritional value. Also I have to stay clear of too many second helpings. One piece pie tastes the same as the other.

As for my mind, I need to think before I speak. I always put my foot in my mouth by saying the wrong things, but also, I need to watch my tone so as to not offend others easily. Showing some compassion goes a long way.

The last of my mission is to take a closer walk with the Lord and be a good ambassador of Jesus Christ. Being mindful of my time helps me to redeem it moment by moment, and therefore, I will keep myself healthy in different areas of my life

I believe a long life can be a blessing if you live it well.

I’m not saying live it up partying and carrying on, although if the lifespan is over 100 years, goofing around might be a little difficult.

Living well is taking care of yourself in the body, mind, and spirit. I read recently that the oldest lady in Japan was active even in her eighties, hiking and walking. She contributed her longevity to eating well and being active. Good for her but then she died.

The other lady in Brazil believes it is a gift from God. He is the one that is blessing her, so she remains active in her church community.

Studies show that people who take care of themselves, especially those who are active in their religious communities and beliefs live about ten years longer than the average person.

Amen to that.

I believe that living long is a blessing from the Lord and that living independently financial, mentally, physically, and emotionally is a double blessing.

But none of us know when our time is up on this earth, so living a good life, a life without regrets, and without offending or harming others is a blessed and pleasing life indeed.

Amen.

Sometimes, it is hard to think too much about the future because of fear.

Like everyone, I have dreams, dreams about the future, and what can be possible.

But thinking too much of the future sends a shiver of dread and excitement up and down my spine because I have no control over what I can not see.

Having no control is scary because things can happen without me being at the helm and without a helmet.

Yet it can be exciting because there are new and wonderful adventures to explore.

Dont get me wrong you need to make plans and it is great to make plans and modify them as time goes by with what works and what doesn’t work, but jumping ahead all the time makes me feel out of body. I need to live in the present and work on this moment in order to succeed and fulfill my future.

Likewise, I dwell on the past in order to improve my present and to learn what is the best way to my future.

All things aside, the present is what I have, so I need to enjoy it and try not to mess it up for the future.

The best way for me to do that is to have a good balance by giving  thanks in the  present for all that is past and to trust for all that is to come. 

Everything is about trust.
