Throw out non-essential numbers.
This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctor worry about them.
That is why you pay him/her.
Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
If you really need a grouch,
there are probably a few dozen of your relatives
to do the job.
Keep learning.
Learn more about
the computer, crafts, gardening ...whatever.
Just never let the brain idle.
Enjoy the simple things.
When the children are young...
that is all that you can afford.
When they are in college...
that is all that you can afford.
When they are grown and you are on retirement...
that is all that you can afford!
Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive
laughter.
The tears happen.
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life is
... ourselves.
Surround yourself with what you love,
whether it is family, pets, keepsakes,
music, plants, hobbies ... whatever.
Your home is your refuge.
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.
Don't take guilt trips.
Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country... but not guilt.
Tell the people you love,
that you love them ...
at every opportunity.
Words to live by!
Remember ...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Chocolate Bunny
Chocolate Easter bunny
In a jelly bean nest,
I'm saving you for very last
Because I love you best.
I'll only take a nibble
From the tip of your ear
And one bite from the other side
So that you won't look queer.
Yum, your'e so delicious!
I didn't mean to eat
Your chocolate tail till Tuesday.
Ooops! There go your feet!
I wonder how your back tastes
With all that chocolate hair.
I never thought your tummy
Was only filled with air!
Chocolate Easter bunny
In a jelly bean nest,
I'm saving you for very last
Because I love you best.

WHY OH WHY
Why are they called buildings, when they're already finished?
Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together?
Why do banks charge you a "non-sufficient funds fee" on money they already know you don't have?
Why is it you have a "pair" of pants
and only one bra?
Why do people go to Burger King and Order a Double Whopper with a Large French Fry
and insist on getting a Diet Coke?
Why is there only one Monopolies commission?
Why do ballet dancers always dance on their toes? Wouldn't it be easier to just hire taller dancers?
Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?
Why is a carrot more orange
than an orange?
Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?
Why do we go under over-passes and over under-passes?
Why do they call it the Department of Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors?
