Recipe for Happiness:  Keep Up

Once again I was looking at my teabag quotes.  The other day my Yogi tea simply said, "Keep Up." 

I thought that was a wonderfully simple Recipe for Happiness. If we can keep up with whatever is important at each stage of life then we have a chance to live that stage to the fullest. 

For instance, if I can 'keep up' with eating healthy food then I have a better chance to be healthy at any time in my life. 

If I can 'keep up' with the innovations that exist in my culture then I have a better chance to understand them and integrate easier, perhaps quicker ways of doing 'task' chores into my day, leaving more time for pleasure. 

If I can 'keep up' with feeling upbeat and optimistic then I have a greater chance of having more energy to expend and to feel good any day. 

So it is critical to 'KEEP UP'.  How wise a Recipe.

Hope to hear back from you.
