How to stay young!
 

My 79 year old Mom sent me this list and I thought it would be great for this forum. :)

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

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.

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

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.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family,
pets, keepsakes, music, plants, 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, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

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.

:iagree: :hidebc:

I subscribe to a bunch of these, and my wife subscribes to others.

Now... to get us both on the same page :rofl: <--wife + me--> :rofl:

Very nice, Marc,...very nice!

I was going to highlight a few of them, but every one of them is true.

Thanks for posting this.

:iagree:

Thanks for shareing that with us Marc. I may print it out and frame it. Very touching!
