HOW TO STAY YOUNG

HOW TO  STAY YOUNG
 

1. Throw out  nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and  height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'
 

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, even 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.
And if you  don't share this with at least 8 people -  who cares? But do share this with someone. We all need to live  life to its fullest each day
