Staying young

Come across this interesting article on 'How To Stay Young' and would like to share it with all of you....

:: Throw out non-essential numbers like your age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

:: Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches one pull you down.

:: Keep learning and never let your brain idle!. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer.

:: Enjoy the simple things.

:: Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

:: 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.

:: Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, friends, 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.

:: Dont 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.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER - Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
