As we move closer to turning the calendar to 2017, it's fun to share something sent to me several months ago by our Australian 'daughter' Karen:

As we grow older (regardless of our ages, we are older today than yesterday!), we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30 watch----they both tell the same time.

Whether we carry a $300 or a $30 wallet/handbag----the amount of money inside is the same.

Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine---the hangover is the same.

Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft.---loneliness is the same.

You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.

Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies, and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sung sons with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth. That is true happiness!!

FIVE UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE:

1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price.

2. Best awarded words:  'Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food.'

3. The One who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up, He will find one reason to hold on.

4. There is a big difference between a human being---and being human. Only a few really understand it.

5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!

6. If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!
