How to Stay Young & Happy

With my back acting up again, I've had to visit the physiotherapist again this morning...

Since I was slightly early I had to wait a while & noticed this note posted against the counter...

yet another too good not to share...

 

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. (keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches;)

3. 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!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. 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.

6. The tears happen:

Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is yourself.
LIVE 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 mean it!

 

 

And always remember:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?
But do share this with someone. =o)

Cross of - Groom, TX

What an incredible display. This could be one of the last surviving Christian symbols in the country! This is about 70 miles from Amarillo outside of town called Groom, TX Read message at the end of pictures! These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ Sculptured from metal by a man near  Amarillo , TX . The crosses are made of metal also. The man did this out of the kindness of his heart. Someone donated the land on which to erect them. IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE. IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS  BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION; IN PHYSICS, HE  DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN; IN  ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD; IN  MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING  A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS, IN HISTORY, HE IS  THE BEGINNING AND THE END; IN GOVERNMENT, HE  SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE IN RELIGION, HE SAID  NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM; SO, WHO IS HE? HE IS JESUS! JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY. THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL NOT BEHOLD EVIL, THE HAND THAT WILL SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY SHALL NOT LABOR IN VAIN, AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER. REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS. AMEN IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING! The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines,  yet they called HimHealer He had no army, yet kings feared Him.. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no  crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. I feel honoured to serve such a Leader who loves us! If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son, you may wish to send it on ....  If not, just ignore it. If you ignore it, just remember that Jesus said. 'If you deny me before man,  I will deny you before my Father in Heaven
