HOW TO STAY YOUNG

Baaaah, got nothing to do with VLCC.......

  • Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.
  • 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 time with him or 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 a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
  • Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
