HOW TO STAY YOUNG !!!
- Try everything twice.
On Madam's tombstone (of Whelan and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: "Tried everything twice ... loved it both times!"
- Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches.
- Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
- Enjoy the simple things.
Sunrises ... Sunsets ... Full Moons ... Stars ... Summer Breezes ... Fall Leaves ... First Snows ... Spring Rain ... Flowers ... Candlelight ... Children's Laughter ... A Clean House ... A Completed To-Do List ... Mowed Grass ... Fresh Cut Flowers ... Ice Cold Glass OfWater ... A HotCup Of Tea ... A Walk In The Park ... Your Favorite Song ... An Old Movie ... Pajamas ... Poetry ... Photographs ... Stained Glass Windows ... Holding Hands ... Hugs ...
- 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.
- LIVE while YOU are alive.
The tears will come. Endure, grieve, and move on. Forgive now those who made you cry. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
- Surround yourself with what you love.
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, and hobbies; whatever. Your home is your refuge.
- 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.
- Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, or even a foreign country, but NO guilt trips.
- Tell the people you love that you love them.
... at every opportunity and when you say it, mean it.
