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 don't pay ANY doctor...(yet).
Yeah, Im my own friend, and like to live in my own world sometimes, 'cause everyone KNOWS me there.
Right you are...every day is an opportunity of learning...waiting to be had.
Ask the Missus...I'm as "simple" as they come.
Always try to every day (thanks to my "neighbors").
Very true - life is for the LIVING.
Ditto on that.
I never try to take my health for granted (but what I eat is another story)
Wifey and I are planning to do JUST THAT...mall time (sales)!
I even tell the ones that have passed...that's what good memories are for.
