Throw out
all the nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them, that is why
you pay him.
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches
pull you down. If you really need a grouch, there are probably a few of your relatives to do the job.
Keep
learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Just never let your brain idle.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much
that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter.
The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move
on. The only person who is with you your entire life is yourself.
Surround
yourself with what you love, whether it is 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. Go
to the mall, the next county, a foreign country but not to guilt. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
And remember..... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our
breath away!
