Just for Today

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 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 got this in an email and I loved it so much I thought I would share it)

2) Those people would be my readership!
3) Always do...always will.
4) That's me..."simple" (ask the missus)
5) At every opportunity!
6) Amen to that.
7) ditto on #3
8) I need to practice what I preach there.
9) I tend to beat myself up on that one.
10) THAT is very doable.

Those are some really good things in life to adhere to.

Thanks.

I've always had a sneaking suspicion why God keeps me around...for COMIC RELIEF (not only for HIM but for others as well).

Last time I was REALLY "serious", I wound up in heavy factory work...helluva thrill to try to get a hernia for $7 an hour, I'll tell 'ya!

Keep the faith, Dear!

I agree with all but numbers 1 and 5. #5 should be to laugh till you make a little pee in your pants.hahaha and #1, we need to start being more responsible for the things that we have control over so that we or our insurance companies or the government doesn't have to pay doctors for. Congrats to Jimmy and his wife and to you for upcoming new addition.
