> You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the

> But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

>
> HOW TO STAY YOUNG
>
> 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and
> height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
>
> 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
>
> 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
> whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's
> workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
>
> 4. Enjoy the simple things.
>
> 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
>
> 6. 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.
>
> 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets,
> keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
>
> 8. 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.
>
> 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next
> county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
>
> 10. Tell the people you love that 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!
