- Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
Tried everything twice....loved it both times!- Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down..
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches)- Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get 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. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
- The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.
- Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, and 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, or a trip to the next county or a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
- Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
I love you, my special friend.- Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.
And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?
But I hope you share it with someone.Remember! Lost time can never be found.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle
