How to Stay Young

Here is some more philosophy to help you cope with your life. It comes from the Sunday Bulletin of Our lady of Mt. Carmel Church.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG.
Throw out non-essential numbers - including your age.
- Enjoy the simple things.
- Keep learning. Follow your hobby interests. “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
- Surround yourself with what you love--- family, cheerful friends, pets - (difficult for us), keepsakes, music, art, plants.
- Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
- Stay physically active. Walk at least a half hour a day, and/or take up a sport you enjoy. (Note: this is not possible for most of us, but try and do what you can.)
- Laugh often.
- Forgive always.
- Take trips - but not guilt trips.
- Endure with faith the sad things that come into your life. Cry, grieve, and move on. But, do not let grief to possess you.
- Live fully in the present, neither looking back in anger, nor forward in fear.
- Pray daily. Go to church regularly. Be of service to the ill, the poor, and the needy. (Note: In our case, some of these goals may not be feasible. But, you get the idea.)
- Tell the people you love, that you love them - at every opportunity.
