Hold Fast good attitude for New Year 2010 as Mark Twain did decades ago

1. When our mind is set,our perception leads to money,status,fame et al.

2. Shake up the routine. Make the difference.

3. We can feel the twinkle of our eyes when opportunity becomes serendipity.

4. Folks are not the same even twins are not alike so let others go without gossip.

5. Stay on the light side of life. Read comics daily especially Pickles, the aging couple with fun.

6. Laughter may be good music to our own ears. Eat sweets if we are not sweet enough.

7. Shake hands firmly or shake our own hand for the sake of muscles.

8. Blessed are those who were not on the aircraft with white powder for explosion.

9. Lucky to be in the USA. United we stand. Smile at life and Awesome relatives or friends. That is the acronym for USA.

10.We bring enthusiasm and vitality to the mundane world until we turn to be centenarians to become taciturn.
