Can we remember a time when we lived without fear?
What was our attitude at the time?
Better than, about the same, or worse than now?

Guest blogger Lorie Sheffer: Tossing junk mail
My Aunt is 92. Her knees bother her, but she is able to live independently. She is aware, though, that her once sharp memory has a few holes in it. It made me sad to see her fret about something over which she has no control.
I told her that the longer we live, the more stuff we have in our brains. If we wouldn’t clean out and toss a few things, it would be terribly cluttered in there and we would have trouble finding what we needed for the day. The rule for an organized closet is to toss things we haven’t worn in a year or two, and if we bring an item in we should take an item out. Maybe the reason she remembers appointments and is still able to drive is because she tossed out the names of people she doesn’t see on a regular basis. Maybe her brain is as neat and organized as her kitchen. Maybe she’s just tossing and deleting old files. Just last week I lost a bill in a stack of junk mail. We need to toss that stuff! She seemed to like that idea.

Listen, observe, experiment.
And ultimately, forge our own path.
It’s something that will bring us peace.
And contentment.
That’s the bottom line goal.
No?

This is the best thing that can ever happen to us.
The dreaded wake up call.
Scary.
Devastating.
Fear.
Uncertainty.
But.
Why?
A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.
– Edgar Watson Howe
Long before seeing this quote, penned the following:
Not only is the wake up call painful, but so is the reflection immediately afterwards. This is the best thing that can ever happen to us.
It’s on page 32 in this book.

When we change our perceptions, we change the chemistry of our body
When we change our perceptions, we change the chemistry of our body.
The only thing that’s missing from rewiring our perceptions is permission to do so.
It took almost 50 years for an author friend to figure this out.
It’s the same friend that took this photo yesterday.
