Happy New Year!



[]

Try everything twice. On ONE WOMAN'S tombstone
 she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything
twice...loved it both times!
Keep only cheerful friends.  The grouches pull you down.
 (keep  this in mind if you are one of those grouches;)

[]
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!
Enjoy the simple things.

[]
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.

[]
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.
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, even 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.
 
[]
Forgive now those who made you cry. You might
 not get a second time.
