1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them!"
|
| |
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." 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.
|
| |
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. |
| |
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 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. |
