When You Are 100 And Look Back...

on your life, are you pleased and satisfied or saddened and regretful with your choices?

     A man in his forties has specialized in taking a large variety of drugs, cheating and stealing from family, friends and others.  He has spent a great deal of his life in both jails and prisons.  He should have been an actor because he has been so good at convincing rehab workers, even police, that he is cured; then usually on the day he is released, the whole cycle starts again.

     A major contrast is Joan Nathanson of Edmonton, Ontario Canada.  She is a high powered gal in her late seventies who has done and is doing a great many interesting and worthwhile projects.  This is part of the list she sent at my request.

     Formerly "Jill of All Trades," including swimming, introductory French, and driving instruction; providing leadership in Christian Education nationally, locally and on campus; medical office management and secretarial services; editing of bi-monthly regional news insert in The United Church of Canada's national magazine; dowsing instruction and intuitive counselling.

     Volunteer work as a speaker, founder and initial executive director of Canadians Concerned About Violence in Entertainment; member of the regional and later national Communications Committees of The United Church of Canada; President of the Hamilton and District Council of Women, Media Convener then President of the National Council of Women of Canada; Board Member and President of the Canadian Society of Dowsers; Member of the American Society of Dowsers' quarterly digest editorial team.

     Avoid being a One Subject Person.  Look for diversity in your life, create a check off list of many and varied categories, then each year, explore one or several of the subjects to enrich your life.  

     When you are 100 years old and someone asks about your life, will you be glad that you had the same boring job since high school, then went to your small furnished studio apartment to play video games and eat TV dinners?


Chase dreams and experiences,
live your life to the fullest.
