Life is what you make it

Care to hear the latest dialogue between God and me? The last couple of days the dialogue has been more of a struggle that simply a conversation. Here is the perspective that God keeps coming up with concerning life ...
- We can either see the negative or the positive side of life.
- We can either blame others or accept full responsibility for our life.
- We can either look at our pains and aches or enjoy the health that we do have.
- We can either cry or laugh.

It is the "glass-half-full-or-half-empty" syndrome. There is two choices before us and the choice is ours to make.

As for me ... I choose to celebrate and laugh ... I choose not to get bored, but appreciate the blessings which surround me ... I choose to appreciate the blessings and not concentrate on what I don't have ... I choose to look to the present, forget the past and leave the future up to God. At least these are my goals and with the help of the Holy Spirit a reality to embrace!

What choices is God asking you to make?

Outside of the God/me conversation was this little different perspective on nutrition and health. It arrived just in time for the holiday season and the parties we might be attending. You can choose to enjoy yourself or pass up on all the tasty stuff spread before you.
- Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
- Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
- Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
- Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
- Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
- The French eat foie-Gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. Therefore go forth and celebrate - eat, drink and be merry just learn a different language!!!
