LIFE: Don’t Take it So Seriously

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

It’s a given; We all want to live, we all want to love,  laugh, and experience a great life. It’s what humans want, to live a long and healthy life and have all the things we dream and desire.

In my 66 years I’ve learned that life is going to happen – no matter how well you plan or what you do. This is not a controlled experiment, there are too many variables. How can there be one formula to live a very long life that would fit all of us? Living well and living long depends on so many factors – geographical, societal, physical, familial, genetics, etc. etc.

My thoughts on living a long life? Do what you love and what you want to do right now – don’t wait. Eat healthy, eat less and move more. Be a part of community. Let hate go. Unforgiveness should not be on the menu at all.

Live in the moment and pay attention. Love with all of your might and as well as you can. Treat your bodies respectfully.  That is a good path. Is there more than that…?  I’m just not sure there’s anything or any more control we have over life than that. So maybe that is the secret… to let go of the control and not take everything so seriously…. and have a good damn time! ❤️
