HOW TO STAY YOUNG. WE ALL NEED TO READ THIS ONE OVER AND OVER UNTIL IT BECOMES PART OF WHO WE ARE!!

• TRY EVERYTHING TWICE. ON MADAMS TOMBSTONE (OF WHELAN’S AND MADAM) SHE SAID SHE WANTED THIS EPITAPH: TRIED EVERYTHIG TWICE..LOVED IT BOTH TIMES!

• KEEP ONLY CHEERFUL FRIENDS. THE GROUCHES PULL YOU DOWN. (KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE GROUCHES)

• 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!

• ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS

• 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 TIEM WITH HIM/HER.

• 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.

• 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 THE GUILT IS.

• TELL THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE THAT YOU LOVE THEM, AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

• FORGIVE NOW THOSE WHO MADE YOU CRY. YOU MIGHT NOT GET A SECOND TIME.

Remember: Lost time Can Never Be Found! Now share this with someone.
