Keeping Up

     No matter what the pace of our lives, we all try in many ways to keep up.  On the job, at home, and with friends and family, we face the challenges of  keeping up with our responsibilities.
     By keeping up with housekeeping, organizing our finances, and completing other chores, we can actually simplify our lives and enjoy more free time.
     By keeping up with our health, nutrition, and exercise, we can use it instead of lose it.  Listening to our body and having annual check ups keep us up to date on our physical condition.
     By keeping up with friends and family, we get to know each other better and are able to help and support one another.  We discover things we have in common with every generation.
     By keeping up with current events and technology, we expand our place in the world.  We can increase our knowledge and perspectives.
     By keeping up with fresh ideas, we can avoid becoming stale.  Holding on to traditions without occasional evaluation can cause us to live in the past instead of finding our place in the present and future.
     As we try keeping up with the many aspects of life, we also need to keep our spirits up, keep our emotions and attitudes on the sunny side instead of living under a cloud.  Keeping up does take a lot of energy and effort, but the payoff will be having a fuller and more satisfying life.
      Could you share some helpful hints about keeping up?
