HOW TO STAY YOUNG...

1.
Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes:
Age,
Weight
&
 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:
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.

5.
Laugh often,
Long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6.
The tears happen.
Endure,
Grieve,
&
 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.
