STAYING YOUNG

Don't know who the author is, but I thought I would share this.

1.    Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctor worry about .   
       them. That's 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's all you can afford. When they're in college,
      that's all you can afford. After you retire, that's all 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's good, preserve it. If it's unstable, improve it. If it's beyond what you can
       improve, get help.

9.   Don't take guilt trips. Take FUN trips......go tothe mall, the next county, a foreign country, but not to a
      guilty country.

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!
