How to Stay Young and Content
1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. If you really
need a grouch, there are probably family members that fill that need.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Just never let the brain idle.
4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all that
you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can afford.
When they are grown, and you are on retirement, that is all that 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.
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 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. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign
country, but not guilt.
10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.
Remember, Life is not measured by the number of breaths
we take, but by the moments that take our breath away
“I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our
wings have trouble remembering how to fly.”
