We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times! 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches  3. Keep learning : Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get 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. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER. 6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE 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. Don't 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. I love you, my special friend. 11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time. Lost time can never be found. And may I add 'Don't be afraid your life will end, be afraid it will never begin'

You don't have to. I was thinking the same thing when I posted about them being little boys. Not ALL the time!

Learn from dogs:
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them When it's in your best interest, practice obedience Let others know when they've invaded your territory Take naps and stretch before rising Run, romp, and play daily East with gusto and enthusiasm Be loyal If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it When someone is having a bad day, be silent. Sit close by and gently nuzzle them. Thrive on attention and let people touch you Avoid biting when a simple growl will do When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout: run right back and make friends Delight in the simple joys of a long walk Regards, MS
