Stay Active And Fit
Those who stay active and fit tend to live much longer than those who sit around. Get up and move, and find things that you love to do. I like working outdoors and walking or biking outdoors. Cats that stay active are much thinner than cats that take too many catnaps in one day. I purchased an exercise wheel for my cats, and the thin ones loved it, but the plump ones thought to themselves I want nothing to do with that exercise wheel. Some of my cats like to go outdoors, eat grass, or try to catch a rodent. One must stay active and fit with your relationship with God. Listen to sermons, pray without ceasing, read daily devotions, and be an excellent example to others. Be kind and loving. Caring and Compassionate, and let God’s light shine through you in all you do to help others. Call on people and lift their spirits. Inactivity in your relationship with God will leave you in a place where you have no hope or peace of mind.
Relationships
You must keep your relationships with others active to have a good relationship. No one wants a rainy-day friend. All of us want friends who will be there for us in the good times to cheer us on and in the bad times to help us through them. I have been blessed with wonderful friends who have helped me in the best of times and in the worst of times. A good marriage will involve a lot of communication and give-and-take. Marriage must not always have one spouse that calls all of the shots. Marriage needs harmony, peace, and love to make it last. All relationships need to be nurtured and tended to. Do not take anyone for granted; someday, they will not be there for you. Tell your spouse and friends you love them often and spend quality time with them.
Work
It will show if you are not productive in your work. If you let things go without fixing them, you will be overwhelmed by the number of things you must fix all at once. I list things I want to get fixed every year, and I start with the hardest ones first. The other ones do not take as long, and it is much easier to cross everything off your list by year’s end. If you love your job and it motivates you, you will not have any inactive time. If your job does not encourage you, try to get a different job that does. I like looking at buildings I painted or any other completed work project. I want a job where I feel I have accomplished much by the end of the day. I do not want to sit around and be bored, and I am happy when I am working.
Travel
See all you can when you travel and never stay cooped up in your room, as you might as well have stayed home. Go to concerts, operas, and bus tours, and get out and see what the locals are doing. Go to the various restaurants and enjoy the different and unique foods of the region that you are in. Go to the stores, shop, and attend church service on Sunday, as you will be amazed by the church’s history. I love history and any place where they recreate history with people dressed and working as they would have at that time. Stay active in all that you do.
