Good Advice for Us All

HOW TO STAY YOUNG


1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.

Let the doctors worry about that. That's their job.


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 or her.


*** 


6. Tears happen sometimes:

Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self. 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, to another town, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.


*** 


10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.


*** 


And if you don't copy this to your blog - who cares?
But do share this with someone. Someone who matters. Like I did!

Incidentally, it's pouring rain here in Mimico. I guess God does read this blog. She even left a comment the other day. Thanks, Lord!

Happy Birthday, Jennefer! You look fabulous!!
