Here are a few ideas:<br /><br />1) Coming home from the library or bookstore with a bag full of new books to read<br /><br />2) The smell of a brand new book<br /><br />3) The tastes of things she likes to eat<br /><br />4) Certain seasonal things, depending on what seasons she loves (the smell of snow in the air? The hush just after a snow fall? Flowers in the spring? A warm summer rain? The feel of grass between your toes? The crunch of autumn leaves beneath your feet?)<br /><br />5) Petting a purring kitty or adoring dog (if she likes animals)<br /><br />6) Does she volunteer? Maybe the smiles of those she helps.<br /><br />7) Great grandkids, if she has any<br /><br />8) Opening a new bag of coffee and smelling the beans<br /><br />9) The anticipation of beginning a new crossword puzzle<br /><br />10) The feeling of pride and accomplishment in finishing a crossword puzzle<br /><br />11) Sunshine. Rainbows. Kittens. Babies.<br /><br />12) Christmas morning<br /><br />13) Christmas Eve.Caryn Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531525726993612776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-32075420085150702882010-11-30T13:01:33.619-08:002010-11-30T13:01:33.619-08:00I love this idea.

Ok...Reason to live . . . it beats the alternative!<br /><br />Okay, gotta confess, in theory (and for your grandmother) this sounds like a good idea but I don't know how I'd feel if someone gave me a "Reasons to live calendar". I'd be wondering what they knew that I didn't. lolLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-20022476447556350632010-11-29T18:57:56.518-08:002010-11-29T18:57:56.518-08:00grandbabies,sunshine,books,atms which make life te...grandbabies,sunshine,books,atms which make life terribly convenient, alyssa goodnight<br /><br />you are so sweet and smart to think of thisSarakastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489373434924061620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-25930180441197203692010-11-29T14:15:59.866-08:002010-11-29T14:15:59.866-08:00To bring it down to a worldly level, I would say t...To bring it down to a worldly level, I would say that ice cream is a good reason to stick around.Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-82279048967067648062010-11-29T13:56:14.804-08:002010-11-29T13:56:14.804-08:00I love this idea.

I also start each day asking God what he needs from me today, and I would not want to miss one day to serve him. When I am my most ill, I can serve him with his most powerful tool, prayer. There are always things we can do, we need to focus on those things and not what we can not do. Use your limited energy in the most positive way is something one of my dear friends said as she fought cancer. I try to remember it. There is nothing that will happen today that I can not handle together with the Lord!!<br />You are never too old to learn, try to learn something new today. It is a good way to cheer you up. It is more blessed to give than to receive, do something for others and feel their sunshine! Pollyanna said there are over 800 bible verses that contain the word glad or happy because God wants us to be happy daily. It would be a great thing to do one day to find them all!Mitzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229912318723301834noreply@blogger.com
