-
Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
-
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
-
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.
-
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. -
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.
-
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

The Echo Of Life
A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy
trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, “Ahhhhh.”
Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, “Ahhhhh.”
Filled with curiosity, he screams, “Who are you?” but the only
answer he receives is: “Who are you?”
This makes him angry, so he screams, “You are a coward!” and
the voice answers, “You are a coward!”
He looks at his father asking, “Dad, what is going on?”
“Son,” he replies, “pay attention!” Then he screams, “I admire you!”
The voice answers, “I admire you!”
The father shouts, “You are wonderful!” and the voice answers,
“You are wonderful!”
The boy is surprised, but still can’t understand what is going on.
Then the father explains, “People call this ‘ECHO’ but truly it is
‘LIFE!’ Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror
of your actions. If you want more love, give more love!
If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want
understanding and respect, give understanding and respect. If you
want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and
respect! This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives.”
Life always gives you back what you give out. Your life is not
a coincidence, but a mirror of your own doings.
