George Carlin on aging!
(Absolutely Brilliant)
IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON.
George Carlin's�Views�on Aging
Do you realize that�the�only time in our lives�when we like to get old is�when we're kids? If you're less�than 10 years�old, you're�so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?'�'I'm four�and a half!'�You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's�the�key.
You get into your teens, now�they can't hold you back.. You jump to�the�next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?' 'I'm�gonna be�16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And�then�the�greatest day of your life�!�You�become�21. Even�thewords�sound like a ceremony�YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But�then you�turn�30. Oooohh, what happened�there? Makes�you�sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's�no fun now, you're Just a�sour-dumpling. What's�wrong? What's�changed?
You�BECOME�21, you�TURN�30,�then you're�PUSHING�40. Whoa! Put on�thebrakes, it's�all�slipping away. Before you know it, you�REACH�50 and your dreams�are gone.
But wait!!!�You�MAKE it�to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you�BECOME�21,�TURN�30,�PUSH�40,�REACH�50 and�MAKE it�to 60.
You've built up�so much�speed that you�HIT�70! After that it's�a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You�get into�your 80's�and every day is�a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end�there. Into�the�90s, youstart going backwards; 'I�Was�JUST�92.'
Then a�strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
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.

3.�Keep learning.�Learn more about�the�computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let�the�brain idle. 'An idle mind is�the�devil'sworkshop.' 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.
6.�The tears�happen.�Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who iswith us�our entire life, is�ourselves. Be ALIVE 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 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 8 people�- who cares?�But do�share thiswith�someone. We all need to live life to its�fullest each day!!
