Stay Young With Me!!
We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes
part of who we are!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and
Madam)she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice... loved it
both times!
2. Keep only cheerful friends.The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are oneof those grouches.
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts,
gardening,whatever. Never let the brain get 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. And if
you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with
HIM/HER.
6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only
person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. LIVE 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.I love you, my special friend.
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a
second time.
And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?
But do share this with someone.
Lost time can never be found.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting
some kind of battle.
I received this in an e=mail today...thought it was worth sharing.
