How To Stay Young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.

This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That
is why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.

The grouches pull you down. If you really need a grouch, there are probably
a few dozen of your relatives to do the job.

3. Keep learning.

Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Just never let
the brain idle.

4. Laugh often, long, and loud.

Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in
the store by your distinctive laughter.

5. Do not worry about situations beyond your control.

Karma is karma.

6. The tears happen.

Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, or 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. Don't take guilt trips.

Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country, but not guilt.

10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.

Remember, Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.

Self-Healing

The miracle of self-healing occurs when the inner patient
yields to the inner physician.

Real happiness consists of a harmony between all the
parts of your nature, such as feelings harmonizing with
words, or thoughts harmonizing with actions.

Never fear to deliberately walk through dark places, for
that is how you reach the light on the other side.

If you want to know what to do, just do what is right and
ignore the consequences.

Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing
must follow self-honesty.

- Vernon Howard

------------------
"Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny."
