Lori | Shaping Life After 50
Do you buy flowers for yourself?⁠ ⁠ I do!⁠ ⁠ Having fresh flowers in the house lifts my spirits.⁠ ⁠ I try to choose a different variety every week from the farmer's market. I choose them to match my mood of the moment, whether I'm considering color or fragrance or size. It's a fun little gift I give myself.⁠ ⁠ And one of my 50 acts of kindness that make the world a better place.

These are the salad days… I eat a big salad jus These are the salad days… I eat a big salad just about every day for lunch. What do I put in it? Pretty much anything I can find in the fridge! This one’s made with spinach, asparagus, manchego cheese, walnuts, and blackberries. Yep, I love to add a little fruity pop to my veggies! If it looks like a lot of cheese, I honestly didn’t eat much of it…scroll to see my professional cheese eater!

"It seems like common sense...but isn't a life bas "It seems like common sense...but isn't a life based on seeking personal happiness by nature self-centered, even self-indulgent?⁠ ⁠ Not necessarily.⁠ ⁠ In fact, survey after survey has shown that in is unhappy people who tend to be most self-focused and are often socially withdrawn, brooding, and even antagonistic.⁠ ⁠ Happy people, in contrast, are generally found to be more sociable, flexible, and creative and are able to tolerate life's daily frustrations more easily than unhappy people.⁠ ⁠ And, most important, they are found to be more loving and forgiving..."⁠ ⁠ His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Howard C.

Dog, meet ocean.⁠ ⁠ Ozzie is probably the only Dog, meet ocean.⁠ ⁠ Ozzie is probably the only (part) lab on the planet who is afraid of water.⁠ ⁠ He was a stray as a young pup, before he adopted us, and we think he may have had some sort of traumatic experience related to water.⁠ ⁠ He's always avoided getting wet. He hates baths.⁠ ⁠ But he LOVES the beach. And he will even, willingly and on purpose, go into the ocean water up to his chest. I've even caught him swimming a bit every now and then.⁠ ⁠ You can't get over your fears unless you find a way to confront them, at a level that works best for you.⁠ ⁠ Be like Ozzie.⁠ ⁠ Move forward, just a stroke or two at a time.⁠ ⁠ #brave #love #strong #motivation #life #courage #success #goals #mindset#freedom #believe #mind #better #inspiration #faith #dogsofinstagram #confrontfear #faceyourfear #yougotthis
