What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? – Not a bad question to reflect upon early this morning.

I thought I’d add a few items below to last year’s answer to this question in a post I did titled “More than I thought“

I try not to take simple things like a shower or food for granted. I try not to want and be appreciative of what I have.

I try to be a better blogger each day. I worked for a daily paper for decades, so I figured why stop in retirement.

I try to love. Be it in a simple greeting to a stranger or an email/call to my children or an embrace for my better half.

Reaching out to a friend each day. Not the same friend but I’m blessed with a good number so I’m always communicating with one friend or another every day. With my best friends it’s close to daily some weeks.

The Daily Writing prompt asks – “What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

I get up very early and have a few minutes for thought and planning. Too get in a positive mindset because I can start rather skeptical of the day. But if I start relaxed and positive I can fight off the little stuff and keep trucking.

I laugh.

I weigh myself every day to keep within a healthy range. I allow myself a 5 lb swing either way. I know that probably isn’t recommended and I don’t encourage it for others but it works for me.

I listen to music.

I remember to be thankful for my health.

I photograph, write, and carve daily. Now, if I could just add drawing to that list.

I watch sunrises and sunsets.

I try to be active each day. I’m mostly successful.

I read.
