How to Stay Young

I recieved a cute forward from my sweet cousin and wanted to pass along some of it's contents on this subject of ,How to stay young.

  1. Try everything twice.On a tombstone a woman wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times !
  2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouchy ones pull you down (keep this in mind when you are the one who is a grouch.)
  3. Keep learning: Learn more about computer,crafts,gardening,whatever. Never let the brain die."An idle mind is the devils workshop." And the devils name is ALZHEIMER"S !
  4. Enjoy the simple things.
  5. Laugh often ,long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have friend who makes you laugh, spend lots of time with that person.
  6. The tears happen. Endure , grieve, and move on. The only person who is with you your entire life is you. Lost time can never be found . Live while you are alive.
  7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family,pets,keepsakes,whatever. Your home is your refuge.

Loving you all and keeping young ..

Hi Robin,

Those are great things to remember. I especially like the one that says the devil's name is Alzheimers! :) I think one of the reasons I stay at FP is those little ones keep you on your toes!
