| 1. |
Try everything twice. On Madam's 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. |
| |
|
| 12. |
Lost time can never be found. |
