HOW TO STAY YOUNG
Submitted by Alvin Edlund
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. (On the
other hand, grouches need friends
who will listen, but lift up a
positive perspective.)
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.
[DAVE'S AFTERTHOUGHT]: We all have
moods that swing us from elation to
depression. Life is an emotional
roller-coaster ride!
So, when you are up, be Grateful. When
you are down, be Gracious.
And as my namesake in Downer's Grove,
Illinois puts it:
Be Big! Don't Belittle.
