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, craft, gardening, whatever, let the brain idle. “An idle mind is the devil’s worship”.



4. Enjoy the simple thing.



5. The tears happened: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.



6. Surround yourself with what you love: whether its family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.



7. Laugh: often long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.



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 a mall, even to the next country: 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.
