My savings tip today is on saving our sanity, our lives.

I love to spend time in nature, surrounded by beauty. A time and place when I can forget about e pickpocketing  and all the trappings of daily living and to just breath deaply and enjoy the clean air and feel the beauty around me.

I know if I focused on the negative I would not be here today.  It takes more than luck and good medicine or counseling to keep the human spirit well and alive within us.  We all need to try to duck the rocks thrown our way and dwell on the positive.  We do attract and are those things we dwell on.

We are all mortal so grief and suffering is common to all.

How does the serenity prayer go?

"Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other"

 
I try to live by 'Dwell on all things beautiful" my favorite passage from the Bible and I have turned to that in times of extreme distress and been able to rebound.

We can live positive lives despite things beyond our control.

I'm only saying what my friend Rebecca can cleverly say in just a few well put words.  Quote below:-
"Quick suggestion, if your life is shit, do something about it."
