•   Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay       for him / her.
  •   Keep only cheerful friend. The grouches pull you down.
  •   Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, craft, 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 you us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while       you are alive.
  •   Surround yourself with what you love; whether it’s family; 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.
  • AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
  •   Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
