Subject: 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, " the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young,that is all

that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can

afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford!

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh

so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter.

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,

don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in residence for

your mail.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is 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. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign

country, but not to guilt country.

10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the

moments that take our breath away.
