My Dad gave me this and it really made me think. I read it everyday.

I hope it helps all of you

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.

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.

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, gain help and support.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, 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.

What a beautiful group of thoughts. It is a refreshing reminder of how we should all try to live our lives. I've printed it out to post so I can look daily. Thanks for sharing.

Mindylee,

How beautiful! This is really great. If you don't mind, I'd like to email this to a friend of mine stuck at home because of premature contractions. I'm sure it will really make her think, just like I did.

Thanks to you and your dad.

I like that! Especially the thing about going to the mall. New clothes always make me feel better.
