Secrets to Staying Young, Healthy and Happy

Throw out the non-essential numbers in your life: age, weight & height. Be thankful and be proud about it.
Â
Keep only the cheerful friends around. The “grouches†pull u down. If you really need a grouch, there are probably a few dozen of your relatives to do the work.
Â
Keep on learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, interior design, gardening …whatever. Just never let the brain idle.
Â
Laugh often, long & loud… Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your “distinctive laughterâ€.
Â
The tears happen… Endure, grieve, cry hard enough, & move on. The only person who is with us in our entire life is … ourselves.
Â
Surround yourself w/ what you love, whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies … whatever. Your home is your refuge.
Â
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.
Â
Don’t take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country… but not guilt.
Â
Tell the people u love, that you love them at every opportunity.
Â
REMEMBER, Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Â
I have learned that……
Â
Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.
Â
You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
Â
No matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.
Â
It is hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.
Â
It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
Â
Praying hard is essential,, pray with all of your heart and believe… Your faith will see you through the harshness of life.
Â
Remember, a Faith not worth dying for, is not a faith worth living for.
