How To Stay Young

I got a wonderful forward from my cousin Janet that I must share with you. (minus all the fluff). This is titled:
Philosophy For Old Age~ by George Carlin

• Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the Doctors worry about them. That's why we pay them.
• Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
• Keep Learning. Learn more about the compute crafts, gardening, whatever... Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the Devil's Workshop," and the Devils name is Alzheimer's.
• Enjoy the simple things.
• Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
• 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.
• Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, 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. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where guilt is.
• Tell the people that you love, 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.
