2010 is going to be an extraordinary year. Enjoy every moment of it.

This morning I received a powerful email from my friend, Jim Walberg.  He compiled 39 helpful points, in 4 groups.  Jim's positive message is a GREAT way to start 2010.  I hope you enjoy his list as much as I did!

I especially appreciate #23.  "Smile and laugh more often".  :)

Which one of Jim' 39 points is your favorite?

Here is to an extraordinary 2010!  Each year we look for a list of actions to be taken throughout the year that will add to it being an amazing one.  We found these 39 action items for all of us to consider for 2010 that are guaranteed to improve our lives.  Happy New Year!!!

Health:
1.       Drink plenty of water.
2.       Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince,  and dinner like a beggar.
3.       Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants, and eat less food that is manufactured in plants...

5.       Make time to pray each day.
6.       Play more games each week.
7.       Read more books than you did in 2009.
8.       Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9.       Sleep for 7 hours a day.
10.    Take 10-30 minutes to walk daily. And while you walk, smile, no matter what you are currently feeling.

Personality:
11.    Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12     Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
