HOW TO STAY YOUNG 
  1. Throw out nonessential 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."
    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, 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.
    If you don't send this to at least 8 people.... who cares?

"In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or
understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving."

 
If you can't be thankful for what you receive, be thankful for what you escape............
 
"Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever
state I may be in, therein to be content."
 
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."
