I want to add to my list above, that I should think of things that I am grateful for. I think that is a really important one. We should think of these things as often as possible to keep ourselves in a good frame of mind!

So I went and got that flu shot and had a nice afternoon walk too, on my way there and back. The mountains were beautiful. I ran into an old friend who was getting his flu shot too, but we did not recognize one another! We talked for something like a half an hour, then we introduced one another as he was leaving and discovered how we knew one another! We remembered one another's names, even though each of us has changed a lot since we last saw one another five or so years ago. How strange was that? Probably not really strange, because we live in a small town of about 1800 folks, but still, it was a bit odd.
