| SUBJECT: Thought for the Day | |
| FOR ALL OF US: STAYING YOUNG | |
| 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. | |
| Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. | |
| 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. | |
| 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, | |
| whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's | |
| workshop." The devil's name is Alzheimer's. | |
| 4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that's all you | |
| can afford. When they're in college, that's all you can afford. After you | |
| retire, that's all you can afford! | |
| 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so | |
| much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter. | |
| 6. 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, | |
| don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in | |
| residence for your mail. | |
| 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets, | |
| keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. | |
| 8. Cherish your health. If it's good, preserve it. If it's unstable, | |
| improve it. If it's beyond what you can improve, get help. | |
| 9. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign | |
| country, but not to guilt country. | |
| 10. 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. | |
