 Stay Young My Friend

    We all need to read this one over

    and over until it becomes part of

   who we are!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG


1.  Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches

    pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you

   are one of those grouches!)

2. 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!

3. Enjoy the simple things.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Surround yourself with what you love:

    music, plants, hobbies, whatever.

   Your home is your refuge.

7. 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.

8. 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. 

9. Tell the people you love that you love

       at every opportunity.

10. Forgive now those who hurt you. 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
