SEVEN things more important than money//PHOTO: FOSTER MAMAS on facebook!
seven things much more important than money:
"1. Life
It's easy to forget that the mere fact of conscious existence--that you are alive -- is itself a miracle. As the old saying goes "every day above ground is a good day," or simply, "still above ground."
2. Health
Rather than thinking of illness as something bad that happens to you, start thinking of health as something good that's happening to you.
3. Purpose
There is nothing more conducive to long-term happiness than knowing that your actions are making the world a better place.
4. Friendship
Almost everyone has friends, although it's easy to lose track of them in the rush of events. Take a few minutes--today--to connect - who are your friends? pets are friends, sports, work, social, internet, family, nature, books, YOURSELF.
5. Self-reliance
Feeling secure that you can count on yourself to accomplish what you set out to accomplish creates a quiet but potent happiness.
6. Gratitude
Rather than focusing on what you don't have or what's out of reach, be thankful for the wonderful things already in your life.
7. Laughter
It is impossible to laugh and be miserable at the same time. Regular doses of laughter are more than medicine... it's the flavor of life.

Well, this journal was just chock full of truth, 79! Early in the morning, it\'s wonderful to come across such posivity and truth. It\'s wonderful to know that people realize that money isn\'t everything. It surely isn\'t, is it??
I was so happy to see \"Friendship\" listed as one of those things. How incredibly true that is!!
Have a great day!! xoxo
