Guest Guest Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 "How To Stay Young, Happy & Healthy" Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. If you really need a grouch, there are probably a few dozen of your Relatives, who can do the job. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening whatever. Just never let the brain idle. 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! 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. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ... ourselves. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, and hobbies ... whatever. Your home is your refuge. 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. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, A foreign country... but not guilt. Tell the people you love, that you love them ... at every opportunity. Remember... The number of breaths we take does not measure life, But by the moments that take our breath away does. MBH Quote Link to comment
