How To Stay Young {Insp}

"How To Stay Young"

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This
includes age, weight and height. Let the
doctors worry about them. That is why
you pay them.

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 yourself.
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.
