Guide to Survival...

While I'm in self-imposed exile..some things I plan to do in RL and when I return to SL in the future..

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. 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, 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.
