How
To Stay Young
1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age,
weight and height.
Let
the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2.
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3.
Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts,
gardening, whatever.
Never
let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's
workshop."
And
the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4.
Enjoy the simple things.
5.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for
breath.
6.
The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on.
The
only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
Be
alive while you are alive.
7.
Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family,
pets,
keepsakes,
music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your
refuge.
8.
Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it.
If
it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you
can improve, get help.
9.
Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall,
to
the next county, to a foreign country, but not to where
the guilt is.
10.
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every
opportunity.
And
always remember:
Life
is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but
by the moments that take our breath away.
