How To Stay Young At Heart
|
| |
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. When you keep
your mind active, you help keep it healthy.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move
on. The only person who is with 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. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the
mall, around the block, to another city or around the world, but NOT to where
the guilt is.
9. 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 takes our breath away.

been reported to be more successful than conventional methods. The PiGalileo TM
system, developed and manufactured in Switzerland, results in lower failure
rate, better leg alignment, and less likelihood of infections. The five-year
findings of 1,000 robotic knee replacements were presented at the annual
meeeting of the American Acadamy of Orthopedic Surgeons in March 2010 by Mercy
Medical Center in New York. Mercy is ranked among the top hospitals in the
United States for knee replacement surgery by HealthGrades®, the country's
leading independent health care ratings company.
