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.

Do you really think we should drive into town when it's so lovely in the country?

Summertime and life is good!
