How to stay young

Mrs Behavin · 09-25-2006, 04:14 AM

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 Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) 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.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

Lost time can never be found!

Get well. Be Well. Stay Well.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Good post. I do most of those. I eat healthy (most of the time), don't smoke or drink, get plenty of exercise (though not enough in the hips and lower back lately *sad*) and I do laugh a lot and surround myself with positive people.
