How to Stay Young.. Here's how!

How to stay young!

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

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

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.

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 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.

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.

Don't be wishy washy woohoo. We're all friends here. Come right out and say what you mean

woohoo, you are about 14-16 years old, aren't you? your posts suggest that age range.

LOL!!

I don't know what's funnier. Woohoo's comments - or being flamed by Dragon - who's own profile says he's a junior high school teacher - that used to be an "ex KGB assasin" with interests in: weaponry - surveillance - & espionage.

Both you guys are cracking me up.

woohoo should join my sites www.angry.com and www.hate.com.
He/she would fit right in.

Wait a minute. What is wrong with junior high teachers being skilled in assasination, weaponry, surveillance and espionage? Those are valuable skills to have in our schools today!

You know - that's a good point.

Heh!

My only concern is that when you have students running around with nothing left of their head but a "Bloody Stump", they are going to automatically blame the teacher!
