Stay Young My Friend
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 one woman's tombstone 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 one of 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
chance..
And if you don't send
this to at least 4 people - who cares? But do share this with
someone. 
Remember! Lost time
can never be found.
Be kinder than
necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
battle. 
Wine does not make you FAT
.... it makes you LEAN ....(against tables, chairs,
floors, walls and ugly
people.)
