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.
