"Optimism is good for the heart, a study said on Monday," reports Reuters: The most optimistic among a group of 545 Dutch men age 64 to 84 had a roughly 50 percent lower risk of cardiovascular death over 15 years of follow-up, according to the study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Previous research has suggested being optimistic boosts overall physical health and lowers the risk of death from all causes."

HOPE: This is one reason why Christians live longer, healthier, happier lives.

It doesn't seem fair, does it? We live better lives while we are here on earth and then we get to live forever with Christ in Heaven after our bodies wear out. Wow! All that and heaven too.

Faith, hope and love remain. I CO 13
