Celebrate life!
Psalm 90:12
The Hebrew text suggests that we correctly "account" for our days.
I find it interesting that we are to view life by the days, not the years. We are to live those days in such a way that when they draw to a close, we have gained "a heart of wisdom."
With the Lord God occupying first place in our lives we accept and live each day enthusiastically for Him. The result will be that "heart of wisdom" the psalmist mentions...
Because we cannot alter the inevitable, we adjust to it.

Moral character
Proverbs 22:1
Unfortunately, we have grown accustomed to shrugging off lapses in moral character, manifested in secretive and deceptive lifestyles.
We are frequently told that trying to find people who value honesty and model responsibility, who promote fairness, accountability, loyalty, and respect for others, and who hold strong, upright convictions is not at all realistic.
