This came in my mailbox today and I wanted to share it with all of you! Enjoy!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
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. Each one of them is what you decide it is, without giving it a second thought.
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 you your 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. I f 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.

Jun. 27, 2006 - Great Advice!
We are not going back to VBS. Yes, this was our new church that we had been attending for a couple months. This experience was a major deal-breaker, coupled with the new parenting class that they are beginning next month using a very punitive "Christian" parenting manual, "What the Bible says about Child Training" by Richard Fugate. This makes that other controversial parenting book, TTUAC, look like a stroll through the park. We didn't really like this church that well anyway. The people weren't that friendly. Wonder why?
