>HOW TO STAY YOUNG
>
>1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) 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.
>
>
>11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second
>chance.
>
>
>Lost time can never be found!
