Seek out sunshine & shadows will fall behind you.
More easy ideas to take better care of our health & well being:
1. Sipping a glass of wine each day has been proven to strengthen your bones.
2. Doodling can help to improve your memory. When you draw pictures of something simple, you are much more likely to remember it than if you write it down.
3. Eating a couple of pieces of fruit each day can improve your eyesight.
4. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the greatest of stress reducers. Talking & laughing with people is also one of the quickest ways to cheer you up.
5. Drink plenty of water, it is essential for all over good health and well being.
Thoughts?
FUN: Have you ever been on a hay ride?
Holly, I don't know the name of the rosebush, I do know that the parent plant had to be at least a hundred years ago. It is a purple/pink flower & is the sweetest smell on earth. I so wish that it bloomed more often than once a year.

1. Sipping a glass of wine each day has been proven to strengthen your bones. I do like wine...but the calories are a LOT so try to avoid it...might treat myself once a week or so
2. Doodling can help to improve your memory. When you draw pictures of something simple, you are much more likely to remember it than if you write it down. True...if I write or draw it I am more likely to remember it
3. Eating a couple of pieces of fruit each day can improve your eyesight. I am working on having more fruit/veg...my eyesight as I get older can only benefit from whatever might help 
4. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the greatest of stress reducers. Talking & laughing with people is also one of the quickest ways to cheer you up. So true! I guard my Wednesdays with friends...I am always guaranteed conversation, sharing and laughter on Wednesday!
5. Drink plenty of water, it is essential for all over good health and well being. One thing I have picked up and done religiously since I first joined WW in 1984...water is a must throughout the day!
FUN: Have you ever been on a hay ride? In high school I believe either the church I attended or the school had a hay ride. It was a tractor not horse pulled one and we sat on bales of hay and I think we may have sung.

** I try to drink at least 6 glasses of water each day, sometimes more.
2. Doodling can help to improve your memory. When you draw pictures of something simple, you are much more likely to remember it than if you write it down.
** I can't say I've ever been a doodler, but I do write things down.
3. Eating a couple of pieces of fruit each day can improve your eyesight.
** I usually eat 3 fruits during the day, and sometimes one as a snack.
4. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the greatest of stress reducers. Talking & laughing with people is also one of the quickest ways to cheer you up.
** This isn't something I often do, except with family.
5. Drink plenty of water, it is essential for all over good health and well being.
** I answered that with the first item.

FUN: Have you ever been on a hay ride?
** I think I have, but I did lots of hayrides when I was a child and we were haying. This was with a hay wagon heaped with loose hay and pulled by our horses. But then, of course, we had to unload it and stack it.

I drink only a couple of glasses of wine in a month. Maybe I should drink more.
I'm not a doodler, DIL swears by it. Of course, she is an artist & her doodles look like an art piece.
Always try to eat plenty of fruit. Love the stuff.
So many of my friends are no longer with me or whatever. I do meet with church friends quite often for a brunch etc.
When I was an early teen, the church that we attended held a hay ride for the youth. I went along, we rode to our destination, some of the adults built a fire, we roasted hot dogs & marshmallows. It seemed like the best night ever. I have never forgotten it. we sang songs as we rode along, just good, clean, wholesome fun!!! I have been on several hayrides since then, especially when my kids were young, but I have never forgotten that very first one. I think of it often. Funny how some small thing can stick in your mind so many yrs later.

1. Sipping a glass of wine each day has been proven to strengthen your bones.
I don't drink alcohol - I have read about the benefits of some. But...others say if you don't, it's not reason to start.
2. Doodling can help to improve your memory. When you draw pictures of something simple, you are much more likely to remember it than if you write it down.
I do doodle, but it's not usually anything related to the topic or a realistic drawing of the topic.
3. Eating a couple of pieces of fruit each day can improve your eyesight.
I do eat fruit daily. That reminds me, related to question 1, I read that the benefits of red grapes can be similar to the benefits of wine.
4. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the greatest of stress reducers. Talking & laughing with people is also one of the quickest ways to cheer you up.
Not something I do often, but with the right people, this would be a fun thing to do. I talk about the local baseball games in the summer...that's not sharing a meal, but just chatting, etc at the games lifts ones spirits. Hmmm....those of us who sit in the same area always talk about getting together during the winter (but don't). Maybe I should be the one to get that started.
5. Drink plenty of water, it is essential for all over good health and well being.
This is a habit that's changed for the good after retirement. I'm doing a much better job of drinking enough water and drinking less pop as a result.
Hayrides - Yes, have been on hayrides. Not for a very long time, but it was a common activity for youth groups when I was growing up. 4-H, church groups, school, etc.
Cherry - I enjoyed your story of haying with horses! I was lucky not to have to do much unloading (or picking up) of bales - I got to drive the tractor.

1. Sipping a glass of wine each day has been proven to strengthen your bones. I am not a big wine drinker, but even less so since it has so many empty calories (and points). Maybe 1-2 glasses every 6 months. I have several bottles of wine in my cupboards, however, so perhaps I should start drinking them for my bones ?
2. Doodling can help to improve your memory. When you draw pictures of something simple, you are much more likely to remember it than if you write it down. If I doodled, I probably wouldn't remember what I was doodling as it wouldn't look like anything.
3. Eating a couple of pieces of fruit each day can improve your eyesight. With all the fruit out there right now, this isn't hard to do. I have a pear and a peach for lunch/snack today.
4. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the greatest of stress reducers. Talking & laughing with people is also one of the quickest ways to cheer you up. There is a group of us that tries to get together at least once a month for a potluck dinner or snacks and games. I always look forward to it, there is a great deal of laughter that evening.
5. Drink plenty of water, it is essential for all over good health and well being. Guzzling water but have to watch out because I can't just get up and go to the bathroom all the time during the work day.
FUN: Have you ever been on a hay ride? I don't think so, but I have baled, loaded and unloaded haybales.

bmazzo , Thanks for the update on the rosebush. Too bad no one ever told you its name... 1. Sipping a glass of wine each day has been proven to strengthen your bones.
I didn't know that. I thought it had something to do with heart health...2. Doodling can help to improve your memory. When you draw pictures of something simple, you are much more likely to remember it than if you write it down.
I write words; I find it way more meaningful than doodling.3. Eating a couple of pieces of fruit each day can improve your eyesight.
Eyesight can be improved?!?!?!?!?! (by something other than surgery / corrective lenses?)4. Sharing a meal with friends is one of the greatest of stress reducers. Talking & laughing with people is also one of the quickest ways to cheer you up.
I find laughing to be one of the quickest ways to relieve stress...5. Drink plenty of water, it is essential for all over good health and well being.
I do. (okay, herbal tea, but in the neighborhood of 64 ounces a day; I consider it to be next to slightly flavored / slightly colored water)FUN: Have you ever been on a hay ride?
Not since summer camp before I was an adolescent...
