I've always believed that if everyone will only cultivate their inner beauty, plastic surgeons might go out of business. The good thoughts we nourish our brain and the acts of kindness we sow every day can keep us forever young.
My BFF Josie passed along the following precious and timeless reminders shared by sisters Cory and Bebet. By the way, Cory was our (Josie's and mine) high school classmate many decades ago.
Thank you, Girl Friends!
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 ourselves. 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.
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.
And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares? But do share this with someone.
Remember! Lost time can never be found.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Wine does not make you FAT .... it makes you LEAN.... (against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people.)

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph: "Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!"
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! 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
