They gather around them family and friends. They feel love. They give love. They forgive. They watch the ground, but they look toward the future.

It's been said that if you're going to hell, don't invite me, and remember never to stop for tea. Avoid feeling sorry for yourself.

As you grow into adulthood, you gain the power of consciousness. You grow into understanding of how the world works and how you can choose to work in the world.

Keep your life simple, pure and unobstructed by maintaining positive thoughts, ignoring negative opinions, office chatter and petty politics.

Keep an eye out for elegance such as authentic beauty and natural expression. Sit under a mighty oak tree for peace. Lounge by a gurgling brook. Gaze at the wonder of a sunset. Hold hands with a friend.

Create a renewed perception of life by embracing it, enjoying it and standing in its abundance.

I'm reminded of a man, who, at 65 lamented to his wife, "Back when I was 24, I was broke, lived in a crummy apartment and drove a junker, but I dated a hot chick and rode a motorcycle."

His wife piped up, "I was that hot chick and you married me."

"Yes dear, now, I'm living in a $500,000.00 home, drive a Lexus and ride a Harley," he said. "But no more hot chick."
