This  was an e-mail that was sent to me - thought I might share.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 


Good advice
 

HOW TO STAY YOUNG


1. Try everything twice. Once seen on a tombstone epitaph... "Tried everything twice...loved it both times!"

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches).

3. 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!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. 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/HER.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourself. LIVE 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, even to the next county or to a foreign country, but NOT a guilt trip.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?

But do share this with someone.

Bill signed himself out of the hospital today...took him to a private resting place..the guy cant even walk...


Going to buy a couple big cigars and take him for a country drive, on Sunday...will likely be the last one...


The upswing?  He turned his life around through AA...didnt pick up a drink through all the hell hes gone through..with cancer


And has 3 and a half years sobriety...


Life is short guys and gals....too damned short for some....
