How to stay young

Hello world-wide-web,
     Heavenly Father, we mostly come seeking things from you, but I also want to take the time to thank you for everything in my life: my family and friends, for their health and mine, for a roof over my head, for clothes on my back, for a car that brings me and takes me safely to and from my destinations. In all that I do and say, may I have a Greater Faith in You today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
The title is "How to stay young." It doesn't say How to Look Young - you're on your own there. ;)
I got this in an email, and you've probably received it as well, but I like it enough to share:
1. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
2. 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!
3. Enjoy the simple things.
4. 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.
5.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.
6. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever...Your home is your refuge.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. I love you, my special friends.
10. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance...
Remember! Lost time can never be found.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
God bless us, everyone!
"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." Mother Theresa
