Remember the Good Times and Forget the Bad
Life is a 'rose garden" great and bad experiences occur in our daily lives.
The secret to real happiness and serenity is--remembering the good times,
and forgetting the bad.
As we grow older, we tend to remissness about the carefree days of our
childhood and youth.
If we've spent our youth practicing "F.I.D.O" (Forget it and drive one.)
we'll have a cheerful disposition, and happy memories in our golden years.
However, if we misspent our youth, "rehashing only the bad times," we'll
have unhappy and unpleasant memories in our senior years.
At Serenity Club members cover a board age spectrum from young adult
to senior. Each member has a 'storehouse full of memories in his/her
memory bank.'
The memories we cherish can be good or bad, and happy or sad.
The choice is up to you! Try storing pleasant memories today--
they'll last a life time.
Love in Christ Jesus!
