Many things occurred in 1972, but perhaps the most notably, 1972 was the longest year in the history of recorded time, outlasting other years by a whopping two seconds. Read more on this here https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/why-1972-longest-history-003323744.html. I was wondering why there’s so many people I know, heard or read of that’s turning 50 this year. Perhaps it’s because I’m one of 5 cousins turning 50 this year! That’s a lot of us, right? This reminds me of when I got a new car and suddenly I notice all the cars with that exact colour and model like mine on the road. Maybe it’s something like that…
My thoughts further wonder as I do introspection, becoming aware of myself and the world around me. I’m conscious of my faults and I’m encouraged to making my years count instead of counting the years. I know that I don’t have a perfect recipe for life, but I know that I can always practice and strive to live life consciously.
Live your life consciously and honourably
Live purposefully and become the greatest version of yourself
Live to express and lighten the load of living through laughter
Live a life filled with care and kindness
Live in joy and a love for life every single day
Please share some thoughts on living life consciously.

This is beautiful Henrietta. I love your poetry ant the end too. Such wise advice too. Two things I do to live my live consciously are to spend time loving on my tiny dog. Her name is Esther from the Bible. I have an uninterrupted time at night where no devices are around as I spend time in the morning and in prayer. Such a positive post. Lovely photograph too. Big hugs and love ❤️

Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts!!.. I believe that folks get so busy dealing with life’s challenges that they forget to live and enjoy life.. “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” (Audrey Hepburn)… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

1972 – the longest year in history … it’s fascinating! And you’re right, it had to be “stretched” a bit for all the newborn babies of that year 😇.
I love your poem at the end – it’s truly beautiful and something I want to live by. Thank you for a lovely share!
