The Golden Rules for Life!

7 Ups

1. Clean Up

Clean up your surroundings—house, body and even your mind.

2. Dress Up

Have a good appearance always.

3. Open Up

Open your heart and be generous. To give is to receive.

4. Listen Up

Be a good listener and talk less. Maybe there is reason why we have 2 ears and 1 mouth.

5. Show Up

Making new friends and interacting with others are helpful in preventing depression or dementia, according to psychiatrists. Please show up at Beacon Center!

6. Give Up

Give up boldly! Rid yourself of greed. Give up what you can’t do, what is beyond your ability.

7. Cheer Up

Be bright, pleasant and laugh, and the world will laugh with you!

Fun Fact for January

The song traditionally sung on New Year’s, “Auld Lang Syne,” means “times gone by”. Time Square New Year’s Eve Ball was first dropped in 1907 after there was a fireworks ban. The original ball weighed 700 pounds and featured 100 25-watt bulbs. Much different to the ball we know today

January is named after Janus, the god with two faces, one looking forward and one looking backward. He is the god of beginnings, transitions, gates, doors, passages, and endings.
