Fountain Of Youth

I got an e-mail from a friend yesterday. I just need to share it. It comes from a George Carlin bit, and I think it is really meaningful. I am going to try to follow this advice.

How to stay young:
1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctors worry about them.
That is why you pay them.
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 worshop. And the devil’s name is Al Zheimers.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. 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, etc.
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 country;
But NOT where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them;
At every opportunity.
