    What a wonderful way to honor your Uncle's memory. I'm sure he's looking down from somewhere and feeling mighty proud. Smiles.

    Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

    Your uncle lived a long life...thank you for sharing wisdom, those are great rules to live by. Hard to do it every day, but if you can do it the majority, it would be a good life.

    After reading these 8 tips I wonder if you practice Buddhism. I know a few Buddhists who are as positive as you are and they seem to be very happy and centered.
    By the way, I recognized your blog on my THANKFUL FUR 3 THURSDAY post! Come on by and check it out!

    Hi Ron,
    these are pretty much the points I like to follow too. Might I also add that your blog is one of the ways I follow your point #1- I've been happy to connect with you! Please accept my most sincere sympathies for your loss. This post was a good way to honor his spirit...
    may it bring peace to you.

    Ron, thanks for following my blog. Have come to return the favour. What a beautiful blog you have!!

    I especially like that you included No. 6. Laugh. We don't do it enough it seems. I read recently that children laugh about 1000 times per week, but adults laugh only about 5 times per week.

    Keep up the great work. And what a nice way to honour a loved one...
