The secret to a happy life is revealed by Peter (88) from Essendon, Victoria: "Thoughts create your happiness, or not. Annoying or negative thoughts are like your eager relatives..they drop in uninvited whenever they want. When your head hits the pillow at night, tell your bad thoughts to buggar off for a few hours and that you'll invite them back at breakfast time. When you are having your breakfast, tell your thoughts you would like to indulge them but you need to concentrate on eating your muesli and getting ready for your day. Tell them they can drop in at dinner time. When you are having your dinner tell your thoughts you havent any time to have a debate because you are enjoying dinner too much and need to have a clear head to watch Neighbours on the telly. And then when they start to get a bit niggly with you for not giving them any attention today, tell them they can come to stay anytime they want as long as they dont expect any conversation. Oh, and maybe try this technique with your rellys too!"
