While celebrating New Year’s Eve, I asked several residents, the oldest being 101 years old, what their advice is to bring us into the New Year. Here’s what I got!
Try to get along with everybody - it makes you feel better.
Be happy with what you have.
Try to be honest, though it’s not always easy.
Thank the Lord for each new day.
Try to think positive.
There will be a better tomorrow.
Call friends more often.
Pray more.
Be happy.
Be more loving, caring.
Have a positive attitude – I NEVER think negative thoughts.
Watch the children and how they interact with the world.
Stop and smell the roses.
Live in the moment – the precious present.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Work hard.
Pray for your enemies – don’t you think enemies are just jealous?
Do your best.
Be kind.
Let it roll off your back.
Take one day at a time.
Life changes out of the blue.
Be grateful.
Be patient.
Go with God.
