Stay Young My Friends
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.
