Rules to Stay Young

2007-06-05

  10  RULES TO STAY YOUNG  by George Carlin

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor 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 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.

I like George Carlin, I have one of his books and two of his HBO shows on DVD. I like his outlook on things although I may not agree with all of them.
