How to Stay Happy Always

Sharing you this forwarded message from my inbox!   Very helpful reminders for me and maybe for you too!

1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them, this 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, art, history, 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 or her!

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve. Then go on. The only person who is with us our entire life is our self. LIVE while you are alive. Those who loved you but are gone will understand and applaud!

7. Surround yourself with what you love. Whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies or 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 a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

 I think I will keep this in mind. I need it! How about you?

Smile!
