Today is a Earth Day. What are you doing to save the Earth? Talking about it? Thinking about it? Or taking action? You can save up to nine gallons of water each time you brush your teeth if you don’t leave the water running. (Just wet and rinse your toothbrush.) Visit your library for more ideas.

Today I’ll be careful not to criticize people for who and what they are.

" To escape criticism – do nothing,
say nothing, be nothing "
 
Elbert Hubbard

Criticism is a fact of life you can’t escape. But you can decide to listen or not. Ignore those people who start off, "You always…," "You never…," or "You’re a big, ugly…" They aren’t trying to help you. They’re trying to tear you down. Forget them. But pay attention to people who really care. These are the ones who might say "I feel this way about…" or "I know you’re trying hard, but…"

Today I’ll feel good about getting enough exercise. Or I’ll stop making excuses for why I don’t get enough exercise.

" I will tell you what I have learned about myself.
For me, a long five or six mile walk helps.
And one must go alone and every day."

Writer Brenda Ueland was 94 when she died in 1985. Walking kept her health and vigorous all her life. (It also gave her time alone each day to think and dream.) Is exercise a regular part of your life ?

Today If there’s something I’m worried about I’ll check it out. And I’ll ask for help if I need it.

Sara lay in bed, her eyes wide open in the dark. Then she heard that noise again…tap, tap against her window. Someone was trying to get in! Her heart raced. She felt too afraid to move. Finally she forced herself to creep to the window. And then, she saw the tree branch, blowing in the wind, tapping against the glass. (Many worries disappear when we check them out.)

" If you can walk, you can dance.
If you can talk, you can sing. "

A saying from Zimbabwe

Life is full of boring chores and routines. But even the most ordinary actions are transformed when you do them with a joyful touch. If you can get out of bed, you can say "Good Morning" to people around you. If you can open your mouth to brush your teeth, you can smile at yourself in the mirror. Even if you can have to fake it at first, try it and see what happens.
