IF YOU DO NOT READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR
LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON.
George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we are kids?
If you are less than 10 years old, you are so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You are never thirty-six and a half. You are four and a half, going on five! That is the key
You get into your teens, now they cannot hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?' 'I am going to be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you are going to be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . You become 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21 YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk!
He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There is no fun now, you are Just a sour-dumpling.
What is wrong? What has changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you are PUSHING 40. Whoa!
Put on the brakes, it is all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You did not think you would !
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You have built up so much speed that you HIT 70!
After that it is a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch;
you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it does not end there.
Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.
'I' am 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
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. Do not take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even 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.
We all need to live life to its fullest each day!
