Hasbro pointed their magic toy wand toward the young lady demographic with the 80’s at-home fitness craze in mind, releasing a line of exercise equipment made especially for future gym members and Jane-tape devotees. The instructions came in pretty pastel colors, there were rhythmic gymnastic ribbons and jumping robes, and best of all, a cassette audio tape to blast when mom had cleared out of the den and you were dressed up and ready to go. I’m in the mindset to learn how to make getting fit and staying healthy fun again and I’ll share what I learn here for your viewing and healthy enjoyment!

How to Stay Young

How to Stay Young
by George Carlin 
We Really Miss You George!

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him. 
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. “An idle mind is the devil's workshop."  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 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, 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.
