Life According To Andrea

The Life Savor (my favored title!) Life is to be enjoyed. Yes, we must work, but we can strive for jobs that will fulfill us. We have obligations, but sacrifice should not consume us. We must find balance in all we do. Give of yourself but pamper yourself too! They say it’s good to dream big, but be real. Develop your God-given talents, but let go of too lofty dreams if they only bring you stress. It behooves not just you, but your loved ones too when you feel good, so learn to savor life!

Wise words Andrea. We all need to honor ourselves as well as others. The best way to accomplish that is to do something we enjoy that in turn gives joy to others. Great etheree Andrea. Happy Halloween! Our granddaughter will be here soon and we will take her trick or treating. Our joy!

Life should not be all work and no play, neither all play and no work! Both have an important role that has to be respected. Your etheree speaks clearly about this, but then that's how I imagine you to be in real life! // paul
