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 the words 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 the brakes, 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, you start 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's workshop.' And the devil's family 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
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. 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.
Stop being a slow learner.
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 this with someone. We all need
to live life to its fullest each
day!!
Life's
journey is not to arrive at the grave
safely
in a well preserved body, but
rather to skid in
sideways, totally worn out,
shouting '..holy
sh*t
....what
a ride!'
