A little corny but I liked it-
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, and confusion to clarity. I can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG*
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. **
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER* :
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, *but* by the moments that take our breath away.
