How To Stay Young

  • Try everything twice.
  • Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches;)
  • 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!
  • Enjoy the simple things.
  • Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spendlots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
  • 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.
  • Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, = music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
  • Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

Lost time can never be found... And don't forget to say your prayers of thanksgiving for all our blessings!!!
